[|Human|] I am a 60 yr old female.  Came up after work and running errands with pain in right side of my back.  Normally ice and moist heat helps which it finally did but woke up at 3 this morning with the same pain.  Heat and ice arent working.  Cant lay down or sit for any amount of time without being hit with a spasm.  Should I see my doctor?  I dont know if its kidney pain or back pain.  The pain sometime radiate up to my shoulder blade and the pain is directly below it.  I have had this problem before but its hasnt happened in months.  If it were kidney pain, would it happen all the time?
[|AI|]  His read your query and understand your concerns am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering It seems you are suffering from lumbar discography, it is bothering and provoke pain but at least isn't dangerous so you don't have to worry too much In my opinion you should schedule a lumbar CT scan or even better a lumbar MR which will confirm my doubt and show the gravity of herniation Sometimes kidney pain imitate lumbar pain, and it can be overruled by an ultrasound Meantime you should wear a lumbar fortress and continue pain killers Hope I have been of heptane you for trusting ChatDoctorPlease feel free to contact us for further information or questions Best regards
