Hi. I have a continuous ache on the right side of my waist. Its most prevalent when I lie down or sit down. I have put on quite a lot of weight recently, with a lot of it deposited around my stomach so I m wondering if this might be putting some strain on the muscles?
Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. According to your complaint you have problem of pain in waist region that may because of muscle or ligaments strain. If it is muscle strain than colder than heat application reduce a pain. Arthritis may cause this type of symptoms. Lumbar vertebrae problem may cause pain problem. Herniated disk cause pain at back region. Lumbar vertebrae slippage may rule out. Nerve compression also cause pain at waist area. Consent a physician for diagnosis.X-ray is helpful to rule out a problem. MRI is helpful for further diagnosis. I hope my guidance is helpful to you. Take care. Thanks.
