ProudGrandma Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The last couple days I have been having this weird cramping like feeling on my right side...sort of towards my back...but sometimes across my stomach too....not real painful, but more just uncomfortable. It's not my time of the month, so I know it's not related to that. Yesterday I was fine all day until I sat down in the car to come home from the soccer game...the 1/2 hour drive brought on the discomfort and then later that night i sat down to watch some TV and it started up again. (or at least I didn't notice it...I was pretty busy) I goes on when I am not sitting, but it seems to get worse when I do sit. What could it be?? Any ideas??

magnificent_baby Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Abdominal pain is so hard to pinpoint sometimes. There are so many structures down there and pain can be referred to other areas. Since it's Friday, can you make an appt for today? Everything seems to happen for us over the weekend and we end up in urgent care or ER more than we should.

ProudGrandma Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 it's more in my side/back, than stomach. I mean, as I sit here typing this, I feel the discomfort in my right back/side area. I know I have felt this sensation before in a different setting, I just have been unable to pin point when and where as to explain how it feels..it's weird...sorry I can't be more specific.

magnificent_baby Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Have you eaten anything yet today? If you haven't, don't eat anything if you are calling the doctor today. Maybe they can get you in for a quick abdominal ultrasound. At first thought I think kidneys or gallbladder. If the pain occurs more when sitting, it makes me think something is enlarged or inflamed. So hard to say without an exam and/or diagnostic testing. Are you running a fever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 When I feel like that (vague side/back pain with occasional abdominal discomfort) I have UTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I've had vague feelings like that before when I've had small cysts on my ovaries. They come and go I guess (more frequently than we realize, from what I've been told). They are never any big deal -- like I said, they come and go.

mrs.m Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Ovulation or ovarian cyst, maybe? It could be a pinched nerve somewhere in your back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkermamaof4 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I had a uti recently and had pain there. The doc said it was actually from constipation and was lower than my kidneys. Could it be constipation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 guess it could be an UTI, never gave that a thought. Just had an annual check up last month...a cyst would have been detected then, right? Never had anything like before. hmmm...is there something I can do for a UTI at home...don't really have time to see a doctor today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 I just looke up common symtpoms of a UTI and I don't have any of them...so I don't think it's that. I also have been having trouble with acid reflux. I have been taking priloscet since December...for a while it worked really well...but lately that has been giving me grief again too...do you think the 2 could be related?

A small cyst probably would not have been detected at a regular check-up. Mine have been spotted through an ultra sound. Usually after a full cycle though, they went away on their own.

Unicorn. Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My first thought was kidney stones. My brother had awful pain when sitting/driving, and would have to pull over and walk it off. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water, and some red grape and/or cranberry juice wouldn't hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
