What Could This Be?

You might recall that I posted yesterday about a stomach virus I had...it last two days and during that time I was terribly sick with vomitting and the "trots" (not to be confused with the Optitrots)...heh.

Anyway, I am still not feeling 100% but today I started having lower back pain on each side above my hips that comes and goes but is pretty much getting worse as the day goes on.  When I press on it it just hurts even more....

Is it possible my kidneys are bummed becuase I got dehydrated or something?

You need to get this checked out asap.  If you are unsure, call Telehealth.  If you have a kidney infection it will only get worse and be very painful.  It may be something else, and since I am not a doctor, what do I know!!  LOL

It could be muscle strain from teh vomiting and diarrhea. You use an inordinate amount of accessory muscles when all that's going on. That would like get worse when you press on it. Or it could be your kidneys.

If you find it getting worse or not going away, then see a doctor. Try a warm bath, massage, that kind of thing. Take some tylenol.

how's the colour/smell of your urine? It should be light coloured, and not have a strong odour.

it should also not hurt to pee. If you're having any of those symptoms, it could be kidney related.

Does it hurt if you press in hard and then release the pressure suddenly on your front on the right side of your abdomen below your belly button towards your pelvis? If you develop any pain in that area and/or a fever, it could be appendicitis, so keep an eye on it. If it's just some lower back pain with no other symptoms, it's likely muscular. Try a nice hot bath and a muscle relaxant.

Trish I had my appendix out when I was 16!  It's still paining me but its settling down a bit - I'm trying to drink lots of fluids and see if that helps! 

If it gets worse or conitinues into tomorrow I'll get it checked out.

Maybe you are pregnant....... .........lmfao.......
Seriously....... get it checked out........

Hahahaha!  We closed the baby making factory up good and sealed!  HAHAHA

No babies for us!  I'm sitting here now and the pain is back.  I'm not convinced it's muscular but I have no clue really.  It doesn' t get worse or aggravated when I move any which way.

But.....my urine seems normal - so it's a mystery!  Like I said, hopefully it will get better overnight but if not I'll get it checked out tomorrow morning!
