Hey wise people and nurses - what on earth is this? (Maybe TMI)

Sorry Sara - you posted just as I was typing the above.

Yes!!! It comes in waves just like contractions!

This is something I just Googled but gives you an idea.

I would definately mention this to the Midwife this week. If you have an "attack" in the mean time, go to the Hospital.

I hope you get the right diagnoses soon so it can all be sorted out for you!

I see the King Eddie clinics have not changed a bit then I would call the GP tomorrow and get the results confirmed so you can tell your middie at your appointment. I have known GP's to get positive urine cultures before and not bother to ring and tell because you are already on antibiotics.

oh dear - I have liver on my brain lately. Yeah, kidneys - a GF of mine used to have the same symptoms and she had kidney issues.

Indeed! :-D

sounds more like kidney stones than gall stones. Gall stones is higher up and hardly ever that low down. Both gall stones and kidney stones will come in waves much like contractions. Definitely chat to your care givers about it. There are treatment options available and they can certainly help with pain relief.

Kidney stones are THE worst pain I have ever experienced, the reason it comes in waves is because your kidneys are trying to get rid of them and they are moving around hacking up the inside of your kidney. My urologist said they are like those spiky medieval metal balls IYKWIM. I had renal colic when I had kidney stones which is when they are moving around.
You have my every sympathy- there is no worse pain I don't think.

Oh, this sounds horrible. Hope you get some relief for it soon, whatever it is!
