Three days ago I started getting the odd shooting pain in my right flank. Yesterday from my back on the same side below my bottom rib, sometimes round to the front of the pelvis. Not agony but enough to catch my breath when it did happen. From last night I have a dull pain in the middle of my back. No other signs of UTI, I have had many in the past so well versed on the symptoms of them. I felt very off yesterday and not 100% today but could be coincidence as all dc have colds.
I do have chronic lower back pain anyway but it does feel higher up than usual like an achy nag. That isn't saying much though as it does tend to spark off different aches and pains for a few days elsewhere.
Would you in this incidence ring the gp for an emergency appointment today? I hate the thought of wasting their time or being told it's related to my usual back pain.
