I have a stabbing pain down the right hand side of my lower back around the crest of my hip. Becomes more painfull as I breath in. no sickness, no loss of appetite, eating and drinking well. It is a sharp pain through the front of my right leg towards my knee. I have been taking dicloflex tablets given by doctor since Tuesday. I have been resting on a hot water bottle. Please help!

He has prescribed a mild anti inflammatory medication that would probably have to be taken on a regular basis to help you get rid of the pain.

Did you injure yourself on that side of your body. More information would be helpful. Your age, any particular problems with arthritis in any other part of your body.
