Back Pain And Sharp Pains In My Side. Help! Posted: 01-27-07 00:36am
Hi,
over the passed year i've been
experiencing a sharp stabbing pain in my
left side off and on every now and then.
It will only last a second. Now, I have
pain in my lower back on both sides but I
believe it started on my left side. I
didn't think much of it but now i'm really
starting to worry about it being my
kidneys.
I went to the doctor a few months back
about some swelling on my left side and he
sent me to a urologist. I had my urine
tested and got some blood tests done and
everything came out fine so I lied and
told him everything was fine after he told
me it was probably just constipation.
I have difficulty urinating especially
when I drink alot. I have to force the
urine to come out and push with my abdomen
really hard. When I was younger I was
really backward and would hold my urine in
for hours and hours at a time because I
was too ashamed to ask to use the rest
room. Now, that i'm older sometimes if I
hold it in I can't go at all even if I
want to I have to try and force it out and
my bladder doesn't feel fully emptied half
the time.
I'm really starting to worry that I did
severe damage to my kidneys, prostate,
bladder, etc. I've had abdominal pains
for years. Sometimes my stomach would
hurt when i'd press on it. I thought it
was just gas but now i'm worried.
Anyone else experience anything like this
or have any advice?

I feel the exact same thing. It feels
like when I bend the wrong way I get this
numbing, stabbing back pain in my mid back
area on each side that only lasts a couple
of seconds. I thought it might be my
kidneys too. I haven't been to the doctor
but I really feel like I need to go. I've
also had problems before urinating..I've
had many bladder infections, but i've
never felt this weird pain before.

Hi Renee. Definitley get it checked out. I
talked to a nurse who said I may have had
a urinary tract infection that's starting
spread to my kidneys.
I've already scheduled an apointment with
my doctor. I need a referral to go back to
the urologist.
