I've been having this pain on the right side of my waist, and sometimes it spreads all overfrom left to right and up to down. It's really hard for me to bend forward or backward when it tightens up. I can feel the pain no matter what I'm doing, whether I'm sitting or lying in bed. And it's making it tough to do any kind of hard work. What could be causing this and how can I ease the pain?

I've been using Alzumab biologic for about six months now, and honestly, I'm not seeing much improvement in my condition. I've heard about Scapho by Novartis and wonder if it's more effective? Can you tell me if switching might be worth it, or if there are better options out there?
