Sharp stabbing pain in lower back, on the right side just below last rib?

I will be just doing average daily activities and all of the sudden I will get this horrid stabbing pain in my mid/lower back just under my last rib on the right side. When I'm expericing this episode of pain, I find that the pain becomes worse when exhaling. Any idea as to what this could be?

Thank you, all!

1. Holy shit. apendicites. my uncle just had it and was in the hospital for a while and olmost died kuz he ignored the symtoms. go to a doctor


2. It may be just a bruise or as the other guy said an appendicitus. You should go to a doctor and have it checked out. I almost had to get one down cause of the pain but im alright now.
Heres some info on appendicitus:
Appendicitis (or epityphlitis) is a condition characterized by inflammation of the appendix. All cases require removal of the inflamed appendix, either by laparotomy or laparoscopy. Untreated, mortality is high, mainly because of peritonitis and shock. Reginald Fitz first described acute appendicitis in 1886, and it has been recognized as one of the most common causes of severe acute abdominal pain worldwide.
