A member asked:

I have an intense pain on my right flank anove the hip, below the ribcage. what can that be from?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ilio-lumbar pain: This is mostly from muscle strain, it may have occasional nerve outflow cause. Try gentle stretching of upper trunk to left/right, hot packs to affected area first and topical pain relievers such as OTC Voltaren gel . If this does not resolve in a week of home treatment, discuss with your doc to check spinal alignment and degeneration. Good luck
