Common causes of right back pain include:
1. Muscle strain: Intense physical activity or prolonged poor posture may cause local muscle injury, leading to pain.
2. Fasciitis: Caused by chronic strain or trauma, characterized by muscle tightness, stiffness, and sharp pain.
3. Periarthritis of the shoulder: Excessive fatigue or injury can cause shoulder joint pain that may radiate to the back.
4. Lumbar disc herniation: Degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs or prolonged bending that compresses the nerve roots, causing lower back and back pain.
5. Visceral diseases: Conditions such as cholecystitis, gallstones, kidney stones, and other visceral diseases may cause pain that radiates to the right back.
6. Degenerative changes: Spinal curvature or degenerative changes in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae may also lead to right back pain.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation.
