Back Pain?

I have a pain in my back. It is one spot and it is constant! It's not excruciating but it does hurt. Has anyone else has this. The pain is in my lower back on the right. I have already had my gall bladder out (in 1997).  I just need to know if it is common or if I should make a call to my surgeon. I don't want to call if there isn't anything to be worried about!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!

Is it on one side? It could be your kidneys.

I had same pain... someone told me here that my new weightloss my body was adjusting my new posture, I went to doctor and thats pretty much it.... if it was kidney stones you would feel the following

  • Sudden, severe pain that gets worse in waves. Stones may cause intense pain in the back, side, abdomen, groin, or genitals. People who have had a kidney stone often describe the pain as "the worst pain I've ever had."
  • Feeling sick to the stomach (nausea) and vomiting.
  • Blood in the urine (hematuria), which can occur either with stones that stay in the kidney or with those that travel through the ureters.
  • Frequent and painful urination, which may occur when the stone is in the ureter or after the stone has left the bladder and is in the urethra. Painful urination may occur when a urinary tract infection is also present.
but im no doctor definetly ask your doc

Sounds like it could be a kidney stone.  If the pain becomes unbearable, that's most likely what it is.  I had to go to the ER last week for one.  I finally passed it this morning.
