Pain in the lower right side of my back?
For awhile now I've been getting this pain in the lower right side of my back, just under my ribs on the side. It seems like it happens when I have to pee and can't get there right away. It's an intense pain, and then it lessens, but it's still uncomfortable for an hour or so after. Is this something serious, or something I shouldn't be worried about?

1. See a doctor at your convenience.Good Luck!
2. that is where your kidneys are... and if it happens when you have to pee, go to a doctor asap you probably have a kidney infection.
3. Might be a PID or a bladder infection
4. yeah go to your pediatrician and be calm who knows what it is it could be something seriouse but it also could just be cramps
5. It is gall stones. And if you don't do something about it, you will end up having them surgically removed because they will only get bigger and more painful. This is what I did. One day, all day eat nothing but Granny Smith apples and drink apple juice. At night before you go to bed, drink about 3-4 ounces of extra virgin olive oil and when you go to bed, lay on your right side. You may have to do this more than 1 day.
There is also another thing that must be moving and that is your bowels. They have to get out of you. Yes, those things are painful. But, everybody has them. It is just when they start getting big and clogging the pores of your gallbladder they start getting painful.
6. That's been happening to me a lot lately too.
I was worried about it so I did some research on the computer, I found out that it could be cervical cancer or a kidney infection.
You can get a kidney infection if you don't drink a lot of water which I never do because I hate water. Or it could be cervical cancer most likely if you've had sex and contracted HPV.
read the 3rd one, it's about cervical cancer:

Here's a site about kidney infections and I copied and pasted a part from it: http://www.essortment.com/all/kidneyinfection_ruxz.htm
-- a pain in the lower back, right around the waist. It could feel like a dull ache. It could be a sharp stabbing pain. It could feel like someone punching you repeatedly. Any pain concentrated to that small corner of the lower back could indicate kidney trouble.
