What kind of pain can interfere?
In most cases, back pain in the place where the pathological process. Accordingly, pain in a certain place, when you know the basics of anatomy, we can tell you how to build the frame is damaged, or where to look for the answer. For example, dry pleurisy, the pain is over lesions, usually in the shoulder or to the side, he looks like depth of breathing, is stabbing nature.
In other cases, painful feelings may not necessarily be the same injury. Share 2 types of pain:
- predicted – radiating from the center along the nerve fibers to the distal parts of the body, for example, osteochondrosis of the lumbar pain can be felt not only in the lower back right or left, but to let the foot;
- flipped – develops due to damage to internal organs (most often GI), but is remote and superficial areas of the body. On the basis of its origin lies in the sensitive innervation of the skin in the form of individual substances, the painful areas are called areas of the Ged.
Back pain on the right is a different character:
- cramping – comes and goes, is characterized by lesions of the genito-urinary organs with reduced smooth muscle;
- the growing intensity of the pain gradually increases, is characterized by inflammatory lesions (pneumonia, subphrenic abscess);
- the piercing is such a pain indicates a medical emergency (rupture of some of the training, the organ, embolism, intraperitoneal bleeding);
- in the form of a cross is typical for diseases of the spine with involvement in the pathological process of the nerve roots of the spinal cord;
- the continuous and monotonous – is typical of the defeat of the main body, for example, diseases of the liver;
- nagging back pain are typical of traumatic and other injuries of the musculoskeletal device.
Household cause
The domestic causes of pain below the scapula or in the lumbar region on the right are all traumatic injuries (soft tissue injury of the back, stretching the back muscles, etc.). This group also includes soreness after prolonged physical exertion, stay in an uncomfortable position, lifting heavy objects.
This group of causes of back pain are not serious, usually disappears on its own after the rest. But still we should not ignore such signs, because under the guise of the most ordinary symptom can hide a serious illness.

The main culprit of back pain is lower back pain. Localization of pain depends on what area of the spine pathologically changed. Most often affects the lumbar spine. This leads to a constant aching pain to the right or to the left. With the defeat of the chest, pain may be above the waist or below the shoulder blade.
With the development of complications of degenerative disc disease (pinched nerve, arthritis - sciatica) pain the nature of the changes. To develop the projected pain syndrome – pain radiating along the course of the involved nerve endings (hand, foot). This pain can be permanent (lumbodynia, thoracalgia) or in the form of a cross.
Pathology of the gastrointestinal tract
After the defeat of the liver, the gallbladder pain is often located in the right part of the back, in the right upper quadrant. Often, such pain develops in diseases of the pancreas (surrounding the nature of the pain).
Pain in the right below can occur with appendicitis, especially if the atypical location of the appendix (a certain position – he is hidden behind the cecum).
Pain under the right shoulder blade can often be a sign of acute disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Here is the area of the Ged. Acute cholecystitis often begins this way.
Cardiovascular disease
Although heart disease and a typical irradiation of pain in the left side of the body, but in some cases it can give and the right.
Very dangerous, because I think that the atypical symptoms of myocardial infarction, when the pain under the right shoulder blade. Patients in such cases, don't even think about that potential heart damage, suffer pain, and in the meantime lost precious minutes that could save a life.
Kidney disease
Kidney disease is often manifested by pain in the lumbar region. The circumstances that are involved in the increase in the size of kidney (polycystic, hydronephrosis, tumors of kidney), show a constant, nagging pain in the lower back.
Colicky pain comes pyelonephritis and urinary stone disease. A typical example of such pain is a renal colic attack. The pain starts in the lumbar region, radiates to the abdomen and vulva.
Gynecological causes
If a woman I had a nagging pain in the lower back and abdomen, it is first necessary to exclude gynecological pathology. It is due to such pathological conditions:
- ectopic pregnancy;

The defeat of the respiratory system
With the defeat of breathing organs pain is often back. Be painful, can the following diseases:
- dry pleurisy, the pain is associated with breathing, increasing the height of inspiration, has passed stabbing character, very strong, often to reduce pain, the patient begins superficially and shallow breathing;
- pneumothorax (rupture of lung tissue penetrates into the pleural cavity without) – a sharp and sudden pain below the scapula the appearance of severe shortness of breath;
- pneumonia with involvement in the pathological process of the pleura – the pain is similar to pleurisy;
- cancer of the bronchi or lung tissue, painful sensations appear, when the spread of the tumor at a late stage, the nature of pain and its localization depends on the extent of germination of cancer cells to nearby organs, and lung diseases.
Regardless of the nature of pain in the right side of the back, and above all, it should alert you. After all, it is a sign of the body about the violation, or a little more serious.
