I am a 37 year old female w/2 boys (11 and 5). I had a TAH (kept ovaries) back in 2005 for endometriosis and an enlarged uterus and heavy periods.
For the last 2 or 3 weeks or so, I have been having a dull pain on the right side of my mid-back. It mostly would bother me when I layed down at night. It doesn't seem to be a muscular type of pain, just a very dull pain. I noticed that last week I started having a pain in my lower right side of my abdomen (possibly closer to the groin). And over the weekend, I started waking up in the middle of night to go to the bathroom/urinate. This week, I have been having waves of pain from my right lower abdomen/groin area and right mid-back. I noticed yesterday at work that I felt like I had the urgency to go urinate, but I had to sit on the potty for at least 10 minutes to concentrate until it came out. Last night when I layed down to go to sleep, the pain was almost unbearable but then it went away until about right now. I have been waking up almost every night at approximately 2 or 3 am to go urinate.
I am not sure whether it warrants a doctor's appointment or not? If so, what could it be and what tests would they run to find out?
I would greatly appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,
CJH
