My side hurts.....?!
Question:
My side hurts.....?
My right side hurts from just to the right of my belly button and curves around to my back to the right of my spine. I haven't done anything to irritate the muscle. I just got over having UTI when the pain started. It is a dull ache that turns into a sharp pain at times. If I press my side it hurts more. I thought it was a kidney problem and I've been drinking A LOT of water. When I use the restroom my urine is a bit cloudy and I don't go NEARLY as much as I should considering all the water I have consumed... The pain almost feels like a stitch you get after running a lot and the painful pressure you get if you have gas. I don't like the doctors so I try to avoid it as much as possible...but if someone could speculate what this is and if I really need to see someone for it.....that would be great....
Answers:
Sounds like either your UTI isn't cured--a lot of times the bacteria that caused it are not sensitive to the medication most often ordered. My husband had a UTI and was on Bactrim but had to be switched to Cipro before his cleared up. OR, and this is what it really sounds like--you have a kidney stone. Go back to the doctor ASAP. He will have you strain your urine and will probably order an IVP, an xray of your urinary system. Good luck.
