Flank and back pain
I am a 36-year-old woman experiencing lower back pain, with severe right flank pain last night that disrupted my sleep. I took Paracetamol 650 and applied Volini spray, which provided some relief but did not fully resolve the pain. This morning, the pain persists but is less intense. It is concentrated on the right flank and extends upward. I have no other symptoms such as fever, vomiting, nausea, painful urination, or swelling. Could this be related to gas, kidney issues, or something else? After c section delivery.. little complications is started

As a Spine Specialist, I see similar patients very commonly. Few days of lower back pain, Without pain radiating to the legs, is nothing to worry about. Some muscle relaxant and mild pain meds are usually sufficient and physical therapy in the form of local Short wave diathermy/ Interferential therapy helps. Any good physio centre should have it. MOST IMPORTANT-once pain settles down, you need to start on BACK and CORE MUSCLE STRENGTHENING EXERCISES, TO PREVENT FUTURE EPISODES OF PAIN.
Next Steps
Please consult a Spine specialist to rule out any other condition that might need further assessment
