Hi

Sorry about this but I have a dull pain on my right side well now its not just on my right but also in the middle and it hurts to sit and stand up lie down and basically each time I move my lower body it also hurts to stretch. When I cough and laugh it also hurts.

Could it be a UTI or something else I dont have a need to go to the bathroom alot and it doenst hurt or sting to go.

Or could a be a hernia?

I guess Im looking for guidance from girls who have had a UTI does this sound like one? I dont really recall ever having one so Im not sure.

I appreciate it:)

It could be a kidney stone :confused: I am no doctor but my father just had the same exact symptoms and he went to the doctor and they told him that he had kidney stones.

What are the Symptoms of Kidney Stones? Usually, the first symptom of a Kidney Stone is extreme pain. The pain often begins suddenly when a stone moves in the urinary tract, causing irritation or blockage. Typically, a person feels a sharp, cramping pain in the back and side in the area of the kidney or in the lower abdomen. Sometimes nausea and vomiting occur. Later, pain may spread to the groin.
If the stone is too large to pass easily, pain continues as the muscles in the wall of the tiny ureter try to squeeze the stone along into the bladder. As a stone grows or moves, blood may appear in the urine. As the stone moves down the ureter closer to the bladder, you may feel the need to urinate more often or feel a burning sensation during urination.

If fever and chills accompany any of these symptoms, an infection may be present. In this case, you should contact a doctor immediately.

Maybe a kidney stone. YEsterday afternoon I went to the bathrom and there was some blood in the urine but I didnt think anything of it since I had my period about 4 or 5 days ago and well i figured it was some left over.

Hmmm? weird I know I have a stone in my bladder but in the kidney? well its certainly something to think about it.

Now Im scared:(
