Pneumonia: pain in lower back and right side?!
Question: Pneumonia: pain in lower back and right side.?
I'm asthmatic and was sent to the hospital last week . During the attack, it felt like my lower right side and upper chest were SQUEEZING so tight, not giving me relief. After numerous doctor visits, the doctor said she didn't like the sound of my lower lungs so she sent me for a chest xray. Suspects possible pneumonia. I have been experiencing a dull pain on my lower right side / back. Not coughing at all - it's just a constant soreness / ache, somewhat like a dull charlie horse. I've been very achy and weak all week.

Answers:
Yes, your lungs go down a long way - remember the ribs are there to protect the lungs and other organs, so where your lower ribs are is around the lower lung. The inflammation from the asthma coupled with pneumonia in the lower lungs and likely the strain you are having breathing would absolutely cause that type of muscle pain. You can try using a heating pad to relieve some of that pain. Health Question & Answer
