I've had the same sort of pain for about a week. It starts just to the right side of my right hip bone (in my lower abdomen) and radiates down my right leg into my knee and around my pelvic bone across my lower back. The pain is not constant (some days I have no pain at all) and is a bit like a cramping/stabbing hurt. It started out as a non-rhythmic throbbing, but as the week has gone by I'm now in some sort of pain when ever I'm on my feet. When sitting down the hip/abdominal pain goes away and I'm left with a dull lower back ache. I've also noticed that the pain always seems to flare up when ever I have to use the bathroom (bowel movement). I haven't had any trouble "going" but I do seem to be going more frequently. I have no nausea or fever, nor do I have a noticeably swollen abdomen. I've racked my brain and searched the internet for causes of these symptoms but I can't seem to diagnose them exactly.
Kidney stones? Appendicitis? Ovarian cysts? Crohn's disease? Help!

The pain is just on the left side of my right hip bone. (sorry for the typo)

Without a fever and acute pain in the abdomen (you say the pain is right side of right hip bone which isn't in your abdomen) it isn't likely appendicitis. Kidney stones will let you know they are there within 24hrs of first pain. They make you scream!!
Most likely you are dealing with sciatic nerve damage, or lower back spasm/injury. This is treatable with anti-inflammatories, massage, and ultimately injections once the source of the nerve pain is known.
My advice is to go seek a MD.

Consider C.diff. the new epidemic. I've had it twice and that is how it starts. You may also have IBS. Do you worry a lot? IBS is a lot worse if you are a worrier like me. Have you considered it might be your ovary? I also had pain there and it turned out i had a cyst on my ovary in addition to the c. diff. If you can't afford a doctor just go to the ER and pay what you can over time. It's worth your health. That much pain should not go untreated or investigated. Best wishes, SarahJane

Pain or discomfort down the course of the sciatic nerve should have given you a pretty good clue. Add to that the discomfort (pain) in the lower back when defecating. Also, the increased frequency... many clues there also. Seems you have been searching in the wrong places. Try looking under neurological.
