Back and flank pain
I am a 36-year-old woman experiencing lower back pain, with severe right flank pain last night that disrupted my sleep. I took Paracetamol 650 and applied Volini spray, which provided some relief but did not fully resolve the pain. This morning, the pain persists but is less intense. It is concentrated on the right flank and extends upward. I have no other symptoms such as fever, vomiting, nausea, painful urination, or swelling. Could this be related to gas, kidney issues, or something else?

Hello ma'am
Considering the symptoms that you are suffering from the next best thing you can do is get a USG done to rule out any other issues
After that consult a homoeopathic physician

Your symptoms—severe right flank pain that disrupted your sleep but improved slightly with pain relief—could have several possible causes, including:
1. **Musculoskeletal strain** – If you had any unusual physical activity, poor posture, or improper lifting, muscle strain could be the reason.
2. **Kidney-related issues** – A kidney stone or mild infection could cause flank pain, but the absence of fever, painful urination, or nausea makes this less likely.
3. **Gastrointestinal issues (gas or bloating)** – Sometimes, trapped gas or intestinal discomfort can mimic flank pain.
4. **Nerve compression or spinal issues** – If the pain extends upward, it could be related to a mild nerve irritation or disc issue.
.
### **When to Seek Medical Attention**
If the pain worsens, becomes sharp and radiating, or is accompanied by fever, nausea, vomiting, or changes in urination, consult a doctor promptly to rule out kidney stones or infections.

Health Tips
### **Lifestyle & Home Care**
- **Hydration** – Drink plenty of water (at least 2-3 liters per day) to support kidney health.
- **Heat Therapy** – Applying a warm compress may help with muscle tension.
- **Gentle Stretching** – Light stretches can relieve muscular tension.
- **Dietary Adjustments** – Avoid heavy, gas-producing foods (e.g., beans, carbonated drinks) if gas is suspected

Your lower back and right flank pain could be due to muscle strain, kidney-related issues (like renal colic or mild infection), or gas accumulation. Since thereâs no fever, vomiting, nausea, or urinary discomfort, a severe kidney infection is unlikely, but kidney stones or muscular pain remain possibilities. Homeopathy can help address both pain and the root cause effectively.
Next Steps
A detailed case evaluation is recommended to determine the best individualized remedy for you.

We cannot examine the patient here, so best way to make a diagnosis is to go for USG abdomen.
It is non-invasive and completely safe test and there are no harmful effects and also affordable. Instead of making assumptions, better approach the treatment after proper diagnosis.

Low back pain is caused by injury to a muscle (strain) or ligament (sprain). Common causes include improper lifting, poor posture, lack of regular exercise, a fracture, a ruptured disc or arthritis.
Often, the only symptom is pain in the lower back.
A homoeopathic treatment will give you best results naturally
