Pain in the right side

[showe68]

Does anyone know what a dull pain in the right side of the torso near the hip might be? I was thinking appendix but maybe ovary's or kidney stones?

possibly a kidney infection if it to towards the back. Drink some cranberry juice or lemon barley water and no alcohol

Ok, thanks! I have had urinary tract infections before a long time ago and they did say to do just that. I remember they said it was possible that I could get a kidney infection from it all but I never did and that was a long time ago. I dont have the symptoms of urinary tract infection so I didnt think of the kidney infection possibility. I was hoping maybe it was just a pulled muscle but its been like that for a couple weeks. A trip to the doctor may be in order if the cranberry juice doesnt help. No alchohol, Ouch! Ha!

i get this at least once a month so i think its connected to ovaries but i also know that when i get this dull pain, right side, low down its due to my bowels and is also connected to the time of the month. i eventually clears but very uncomfortable for at least 2 days per month...for me its def bowel discomfort.

It could even be IBS which I suffer from. The description is very similar to what TheTemptress had described. But my pain feels like severe period pains which I know is not & it starts from the right & then left or vice verser.
Check it out with the Doc to be safe goodluck

Hey Temptress and Sonak - that is something I didnt think about - my time of the month is coming up. Well, I go into the Dr. on Monday so we will see if that is it. Thanks!
