Lost 25lbs, and have severeve back pain on the right side?

I saw my family doctor today and she ruled out UTI and kidney infection, and even ran a pregnancy test based on other sypthoms, and that was negative. she sent my urine out for further testing. She thinks it might be a herniated disk, but did no further testing. My back has been hurting for 2 weeks now, and exercises, stretching, and OTC pain meds do not help. The only thing that helps is hot showers, but 20 minutes later it hurts again. What could this be?
