I have lower pain on my lower right side?

I've been having this really sharp pain for the past 4 months. The pain comes and goes but when it comes the pain is so intense it sends me to my knees.

I don’t really have enough information to comment, but lower right side could be many things. Track when you are having that pain and I recommend seeing someone if your pain is that significant.

Thank you,

Consideration needs to be made for pelvic or lumbar spine issues such as a herniated disc or an unstable spine. An Orthopedic consult is in order to include a careful history and physical exam. Should be followed by plain X-rays of the areas of discomfort. Any abnormalities discovered by this process should be further evaluated with more detailed imaging studies such as an MRI and a bone scan if deemed necessary. Your primary care physician should create the subspecialty referral.
