Side pain
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi ladies. I've got all the usual symptoms which I'm managing to grin and bear, but lately I've been getting a really strange feeling on the right side of my waist. It can get very painful, like a cramp, but it mainly feels uncomfortable. It sometimes gets so bad, it prevents me from walking. I cannot find anything on the internet to pinpoint it being connected to internal organs as its position isn't near any of them! It's quite literally on the side of my waist.
It can last for 5 minutes, or an hour, completely random. There are days when it bothers me throughout the day, and then other days I don't get it at all.
I'm relatively fit; I do a lot of walking and attend two dance classes a week.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

HI I've had this pain on and off for the last 3 or 4 years I reached menopause in August 2017 Every doctor I've mentioned this to says it must be musculoskeletal and ignores it.

Yes!! This is my latest edition to the repertoire of symptoms. I have had many of them in the past 4 years that I have been dealing with this, neck and shoulder stiffness, skipped heart beats, totally irregular periods, I skip maybe 3-4 months and think I am home free than I get jacked up by TOM again. Emotionally it is getting harder to take than easier. My side pain is what I compare to a stitch of sorts. It comes and goes and seems to be more prominent when my lower back is bothering me. No kidney issues, nothing like that..but it is annoying and can be frightening. Especially when you have all this anxiety with new issues popping up. I walk almost daily with the dogs and do yoga/pilates. This is a real bummer...blessings to you.
