I am having pretty bad low back/side pain since Monday. It first started out on my side just above my right iliac spine but is now more on the back side at the gluteus medius. Its hard to sit down and I can lay on my left side even though the pain is on the right side. Im taking iburprofen 800mg three times a day but there are times that I can't sit or lay and Im just teary eyed. I feel like its an alignment thing and would give anything to just pop my low back back into place. Please help.

By the way, this isnt a urine tract infection. My urine is clean. Ive already checked. Im a nurse and have access to the sticks/microbiology testing if I need it. This is muskuloskeltal. No fever, no probelms urinating, no buring.

i can't believe u haven't visited doctor yet. do u know that it can be kidney inflammation? i had it once. was 1 month recovering after. it started as small of the back severe pain. i thpught i injured my back in gym. and anyway, it also can be a muscle pain. there is medicine for that - relaxes muscles. in my country it is called voltaren, is prescribed by doctor. so in any case u need to visit doctor
