Why Am I Experiencing Sharp Shooting Pain Right Side?

Patient's Query

I m getting sharp shooting pain in right side..

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

It sounds as if you have sciatica. Sciatica causes sharp shooting pains to run down one of your legs. It is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This may be from a slipped disk or tight muscles. To help relieve the pain, gently stretch the area, apply ice packs, and avoid sitting too long without changing positions. If these suggestions do not work, consult with an orthopedist who can provide further treatment options for you.

Male | 18

Back pain comes and goe­s. But hurting for years is very bad. It might mean you have­ muscles that are tight or weak. Poor posture­ or not exercising can cause this proble­m. Also, sit and stand up straight. Going to a physical the­rapist can give you exercise­s to make it better.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever

Male | 56

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.
