I have been having horrible right sided flank pain for the last few days. I thought it might be a kidney infection. I did a UA at work and this is not the case. It feels as if my side is going to explode. I do have a doctor that is coming in to work today so I plan on asking her if this is related to CD but I wanted to know if any of you had experienced this.

I have had this to and i do not know what it is or what is causing it.... Everyone says gas ut it dose not feel like gas

I had a tubal ligation about three years ago and six months after i had this done i actually was taking a bubble bath and saw my belly do a flip i actually called the doc and told him i was pregnant lol. i wasnt pregnant of course and even today after my hysterectomy my stomach still does somersaults its jsut a bunch of gas. but when i develop the gas pain my whole mid section feels like it is being squeezed, my chest and my back hurts i almost sware i am having a heart attack sad thing is is the meds that used to work for indigestion and gas pain no longer work for me anymore

I was always told the flank pain is due to the inflamation of the bowels. The pressure from the inflamation pushes on the other organs. at one poin, I wa diagnosed with hydronephrosis. The fluid was backing up into my kidneys. After a resection, I felt better. A little over a year later, I am experiencing it again, aling with pain in my left hip, elbow, and fingers every now and then. The CT is what showed the hydronephrosis with my kidney. Hope this helps. By the way, have you noticed cold weather affects you more than it ever did?

Thank You Schrenk I was thinking thats what the flank pain was the inflammation of the bowels. well thank you

I had a CT scan done and they believe I had a ruptured cyst on my ovary and also my lymph nodes are swollen that are around my appendix. So here I am again with a diagnosis of addenitis. My lab work came back not showing an infection so I was given more antibiotics to take to get the inflammation out of my lymph nodes. They stated that the cyst was a functional cyst so there was realy nothing that they could do about it. The pain is down to manageable now so I guess that is good.
