Once in a while i get a strong pain on the side of my back. what is it and how do i treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flank pain: Several conditions come to mind: muscle spasm, muscle strain, kidney stone, broken rib… see pcp for exam & evaluation of your pain. Muscle problems may resolve with heat, nsaids, & stretching. Other problems may require more extensive evaluation like blood tests or imaging studies (x-rays).
