lower back pain only right side while pregnant?

I'm having really acute pain in my lower back on the right side that continues around to my front, still only right side though. I'm 22 weeks pregnant. Any suggestions? NOT round ligament pain and NOT sciatica, I know what those feel like and this isn't it. This is my third pregnancy. Clueless and worried.

1. He/she must be hitting a nerve of some sort.

2. I'm just one week ahead of you in my pregnancy and I have no clue... all I can think of is a pinched nerve. I have also had RL pains that went to my back though, but I'm sure with this being your 3rd pregnancy you can differentiate them. Ask your doctor, but things should be well for you... The body surely does some crazy things while pregnant.

3. oh my , i hope you do not have a kidney stone. That sounds exactly like my symptoms when i had mine. Call the dr and get it checked.

4. could be a kidney stone/kidney infection... I developed them with both pregnancies.. its supposedly quite common with pregnancy, and is EXTREMELY painfull. It is on your lower back, right under your ribs.. most often only on one side or the other. It is treated with antibiotics your doctor will prescribe after checking your urine for infection.
...also could be Braxton Hicks contractions, which are random and painfull... but if this is your third pregnancy, I'm sure you know of those!! Good luck

5. This sounds like kidney stones, I just got out of the hospital Tuesday for the same symptoms and I am 31 weeks preggers also my third pregnancy. I went into the ER they admitted me after they took a sono of my kidneys. I really hope not, Hun but it sounds the same.
