HelloThanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Pain on the right lower back may be due to many reasons, few of them are.1 Right renal colic or stone is the most common cause. As pain is also radiating to the back, so may be due to renal stone or renal colic. Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of kidneys. This pain also may be due to URINARY TRACT INFECTION, get in urine culture.2 Appendicular lump or appendicitis (chronic) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of abdomen. As physical examination is important as pain present on a typical point (McBirney point).3 Ovarian cyst as this is also the most common cause and usually pain refers in the back. Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of ovary with blood examination for hormones. In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important. Good luck.
