I have a pain going from the middle of my back on the left around my side to my left half of my abdomen.. It feels like a kidney infection but I've never felt it like this going around to the front of me. When i move my knee towards me, or get up from sitting or sit down or bend/squat down I'm literally ready to cry... Has anyone else experienced this? Probably going to the emergency room tomorrow off it isn't gone

Yes, time to go to the ER. Whatever's going on if it hurts enough to bring you to tears, that means it's time to seek medical help. I hope you feel better soon.

Please, please, please don't wait until tomorrow to go to the ER!! For years, I was a triage nurse; The pain as you've describedPlease, please, please don't wait until tomorrow to go to the ER!! For years, I was a triage nurse; As such, I've seen people ignore serious symptoms which can then become worse...or bigger...more difficult to treat. (Trust me there. I'm The Queen of that list.

The pain you are experiencing is your body telling you "Hey!! Can we please have our party here? C'mon -the tents and tables are all set up. Can we begin wreaking havoc..........now??" Pain will taunt you day & night, and just keep increasing, making the problem worse and worse!

Pain is our body's way of getting our rapid attention to whatever is causing a problem.

If it turns out to be a minor thing, no harm done. Your conscience will be eased up,and whatever the cause, it can be nipped in the bud.

But.....if it does turn out to be something *not good*, it's best to get it ID'd and treated ASAP!!!

Please, please, pleeeease try to get to an ER tonight, if at all possible.

Best of luck to you - keep us posted. Thanks.

It could be a UTI, or kidney infection, or some post-op pain just hangin around like a pest. We're all drinking so much Fluid that it might be silly to ask: Have you been peeing more often, feel like your bladder hasn't emptied completely?

Do you have a fever? Feel nauseous?

Any possibility of a pulled muscle recentlyń? Neck or upper back pain? Numbness or tingling?

Could be an ovarian cyst...who knows?? No one WILL know 'til you've been evaluated -in person- by a qualified healthcare professional.

Please -Don't go by me!! I don't know your medical history, lifestyle, or tendency toward developing certain conditions, or what meds you may take, if any.

Do keep us updated!! It's gonna be oooookay.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
