Feels like something is drilling into one side of your mid back and doesn't let up. Every time I've had them, I usually start throwing up from the pain. You can't sit still, you can't get comfortable...I always go to the ER to get some BIG time pain meds. Best way I can describe it is like a pregnancy contraction (the BIG ones) that won't let up as far as pain goes.
Take care whatever it is! I've also had gall stones that caused back pain (I'm very "stoney") and had shingles that caused back pain too....neither of those is fun either but pales compared to kidney stone pain.
My lower back started aching last night, I took a bath and went to bed, when I woke up this morning it hurt like heck to get out of bed, I could barely towel off after showering and putting on my shoes was he$$!! I sit most of the day at work and I can't get comfortable, IT HURTS!! I guess I will go to the er if it doesn't get better. I had a back ache like this right before I started IP and I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my pelvis, worst pain I ever felt!! Come morning I was fine. That's what makes me think this is kidney stones. I just wasn't sure if IP could cause or aggravate kidney stones...

I though I had one coming not to long ago because of lower back pain and turned out I pulled a muscle. The pain never did increase.
Yes, it feels just like that except it hasn't wrapped around to the groin yet. I don't think I pulled anything.... I was at my grand daughters birthday party yesterday, came home and when I was cooking dinner it started to feel achy.... I took a bath and sat on the couch to watch TV with DH and it increased, I finally went to bed.

My heart is broken, my children's hearts are broken, I've never introduced them to anyone I've dated... this is why. I am absolutely devastated and honestly this came out of no where! We were just on vacation together, I came home everything was fine, no fights, no issues, then wham. I haven't been able to eat :'(
Amber, I am so sorry that you are going through this. I think the worst part is not knowing why he's pulling away. I'm here if you need an ear. I've been through it all!!
