    Default Pain in my left side...

    Starting earlier today, I've been having a bad ache in my left side right above my hip. I also am having symptoms of a urinary tract infection. So, I drank 2 glasses of cranberry juice and alot of water. The urinary symptoms have started to go away some, but the pain in my side has stayed kind of constant. Any ideas?
    If it doesn't go away by the morning, I am going to the hospital.

    Could be a kidney stone. Start drinking lots of water (Minimum a gallon a day) and taking motrin. If you get pukey or the pain is unbearable, you'll need to go the ER to get your urine checked and possibly a CT scan.

    if you are worried or if the pain is really severe go to a doctor.. better safe than sorry always is better
    for me... i'm chiming in because pains in my side have been going on for about a year not everyday but i finally figured out for me its stress related.. I read somewhere that women hold stress in their groin hip area.. so basically last June before my wedding/before quitting my job.. all stresses i woke up with horrible pain along my left side more like i had fallen down the stairs or spent a day skiing where you are just really sore and tight.. it was hard to bend and even roll over and if i walked id get little shooting muscle pains.. i thought maybe it was my mattress..but the honeymoon hotel mattress didnt help either.. anyways in about a week it worked itself out... then months later it came again .. on my left side..anyways off and on the past year same thing.. but would always work itself out and ive been under alot of different stresses this year.. well .. the left side is good as new these days but about a week ago i had a horrible stress depression type night.. and woke up with the same pains but this time on my right side..it was soo bad i started wondering if i had like that fibermylasia or however its spelled.. a day later it was still bad i could hardly walk ..all like tight muscles.. im so anti doctor for muscle type pains because i dont want to just be handed meds.. so i waited it out .. tried just taking it easy and relaxing relaxing.. it lasted about 4 painful days .. yesterday im good as new again..today just fine.. i think for me definitly stress.. weird how your body can start whacking out physically just from stress.. i dont get headaches or stomach aches so maybe for me its just muscle aches.. anyways listen to your body and when in doubt get real medical advice but if you have been under stress this may be it

    I get kidney infections pretty easily and this sounds like it might be it, especially since you said you had the symptoms of a UTI.

    I would just go to the doctor. I've tried getting rid of them myself, but when it gets to that point, it's just easier to take the antibiotics and be out of pain.

    Feel better.
