What could be causing these symptoms ? Pain in the lower back , between the ribs and on the right side of the pelvis , painful to the touch area that has spread to the back and leg , the hot patch just made it worse .
It could be caused by a herniated disc , spinal arthritis , or something called spinal stenosis, among other possible causes. As always, it is difficult to determine what is causing a patient 's pain without being able to see him in person. I would advise him to see your doctor if it really bothers you .
