I am a 23 year old nusing a 6 month old. the only major med issue I have had is I have half a thyroid on my right side, no medication has been needed. Ok this is my problem My back will start to hurt on the right side, just in the area of were my love handles would be. It starts out slow and dull. It gradually gets worse and wraps around to my abdomen. the pain is the worsed I have ever had, yes I say that even after having a baby with no block just IV pain med. I can not stand up strait and there is no position that will relive it. I just lay in pain and cry untill it goes away. Also durring this I feel as if I have to pee every 30 min or so and I have pressure on my bum, Kinda like I am constipated but I have a movement every day. the first time it made me vomit. Then It will just go away . I have tried a few pain med with no help. I am not seeing any blood in anything. First one lasted 3 hr second a few days lat lasted 12 hr.

I have not had my period since my baby and yes cramps have been bad in the past. I would hate to go to the ER just to find out that I am going to start my period but If it happens again I am going. Any Ideas what could be causing this?

It is my tyroid that I have half of. I have a big scar on my neck. could they tell if I went to the ER when I do not have the pain or should I wait till it starts to hurt?

Don't go to the ER, especially if you are not having pain. It is too costly & the staff need to be available to tend to those who are in need of serious attention.
Do make arrangements to visit your primary doctor, who can evaluate you, order labs, etc. They will probably want a urine sample to check for kidney or urinary tract conditions.
Good Luck!!

You could be having a UTI (bladder infection) or a kidney infection, or even a kidney stone. Or you could be having a gallbladder or appendix attack. My appendix started out feeling like a UTI. You need to go see the Doc. Sooner vs. Later. Go now, make sure it is not something truly serious.

nursing can cause uterine contractions, that can feel just like mild to moderate labor pains. 6mos is a little long to be having these kinds of contraction tho. You could have gall stones which is common after being pregnant. Try cutting out ALL fried foods and high fat foods and see if it helps. Most likely if it's gall stones you are going to have to go to the doctor.

this sounds like a gallbladder related problem
The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores and concentrates the bile produced in the liver, which aids in the digestion of fats. Bile is released from the gallbladder in response to food, especially fats, in the upper small intestine (duodenum). Conditions which slow or obstruct the flow of bile out of the gallbladder result in gallbladder disease.
Types of gallbladder disease include:
cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder)
cholelithiasis (gall stone

It could possibly be a kidney infection. I would definitely consult a physician about it. In the meantime drink lots of water and cranberry juice.

Did you mean fibroid instead of thyroid? Maybe an ovarian cyst? The pain from them can drop you to your knees. See your OB/GYN.
