Q: Kidney stones cause back pain

I honestly don't know what it is. I just found this forum today. So I thought I would see what you all think is going on with me. =)

For the past couple of days I have been lightheaded and coldsweats out of no where. The left side of my lower back has been hurting, and it wraps around to the side of my stomach. Lastnight around my belly button was hurting really bad. Not like upset stomach pains, it was a sharp pain. Eventually the pain around my belly button went away. But the pain in my left lower back that wraps around has not. As of right now its a constant sharp pain. Im going to the dr. in the am but thought I would see if anyone had any ideas what this could be. Thank you for any replys. =)

Hi and welcome to the site/forum.
Sorry you feel so lousy.
Do you have any blood in your urine, pain with urination?
Do you have more pain when increasing your fluids?

Hey couldn't make it to the Dr. had to work a double = /

Pretty much the same today, just not as bad. This has happened before. And totally slipped my mind until my sister reminded me today about this. It was about a year ago. I thought I pulled something in my lower back, and was in so much pain I couldn't even walk for a couple days. After a couple days past, I started to think that I had a UTI. I was bleeding alittle, and man did it hurt down there. lol. Then it just went away. So now im thinking that I indeed had Kidney Stones then. And now im just suffering again with it. The difference is that Monday morning Im going to get this confirmed for sure by a doctor.
Thanks again =)
