I sometimes get this pain when im going to get my period, but im still days away from getting it. It just hurts really bad. Im concerned if that would have anything to do with kidney stones. I do drink water but just not that much. I dont really just want to hear " you should go to a doctor" i would please like an opinion.

Thanks!!

I have the same thing. it hurts in my lower tummy area but it doesn't feel like period cramps. its more like muscle pain and its a very sharp pain and i didn't get my period yet. i don't know when i start mine again because i never keep track. i had sex a couple days ago and a couple months ago and weird stuff has been happening to me since than. it was my first time and his first time so i know its not a std. what could it be? sorry if i'm being kind of descriptive. i just really need to know.

Well thanks. I mean i already had my period like a week ago. the pain is sharp and stabbing usually on the lower left. My back hurts too when i have it. The pain is kind of like having cramps. My periods are a regular cycle length.

I won't tell you to "go to the doctor"! :-)

Can you tell us more about this pain? My first inclination is that it is period-related, since it occurs before your period...even a few days before. This can be normal, as many women do experience a wide variety of pre-menstrual symptoms.

If you could describe your pain more in-depth:
- Is the pain sharp, stabbing, dull, ache, travels to other parts, cramping, etc?
- How long does the pain last?
- Is the pain felt in your bladder, uterus, ovary...or can you tell?
- Is it a muscle pain, a nerve pain...or can you tell?
- Does the pain occur before every period, 2 days before? Does it ever change? Do you ever have a period without the pain beforehand?
- Does the pain ever occur during other times in your cycle?

Can you describe your periods:
- Are they regular cycle length (21-35 days between first day of each period)
- Are they ever extremely painful, or do you experience excessive bleeding or other symptoms?

This does not sound like a kidney stone...I am curious why you think it is? Kidney stone pain usually is felt in your back, and would not be associated with your period in this manner. Have you had problems with your urinary tract in the past?

It's a a stabbing sharp pain at first then it kind of dulls out when I ouch or press on it it hurts like cramps it's on my lower right side of my stomach Ijust recently got a a iinternal untrasound..when the nurse had to move the camera downward to look inside it hurt when she moved it towards the right side it hurt but when she was looking over the left side it didn't hurt. So it hurts when i press on it and it hurts in the inside. The pain lasts all day some times more intense at night... sometimes I'll get really sharp pains in my anus sharp throbbing pain..the pain has to be somewhat localized because when she inserted the camera it hurt when she was looking on the side that bothers me. But all together if feels like cramps those are usually muscle pain the pain is right in the middle between one week and 3 weeks after my period this time it was 2 weeks after no it doesn't change it happens almost every month sometimes it's less painful like less intense. Buts it every month. This pain is the same pain i feel during my cycle . I have 7 day periods from first red spot to the last brown one the some about every 28 days..i don't really get painful cramps the pain i feel on the off season lol is worse than when i actually on my period usually but every now and then I'll have a really bad period and I'll be in a lot of pain. The highest pain level for cramps is probably a 7 but these off season cramps can be as bad a s a 91/2 but it's sharp so it'll happen really fast itll go back down and only hurt a little then a second later I'll get another one kind of like that.
This is what I'm experiencing also when ever I got the pelvic ultra sound it came up negative for any cysts on my over is and I thought for sure that's what it was. Also I've never had a urinary tract infection never been pregnant or got a abortion.
