Back pain on 1 side!?

I woke up this morning, got ready for work, and felt totally fine.  On the drive to work, I started to get a tight cramp in my back on the right side only.  Since then, it has continued to tighten like a cramp every couple of minutes for about 10 seconds.  This isn't a contraction, is it!?  I don't feel any tightening in my belly...just on the right side of my back (almost my side...right above my hip).  I feel like I slept on it wrong, but not sure.  I'm sure if I call my doctor's office, they are going to tell me to come in to be monitored...hummm....

I have it on my right side all the time, same pain. I was told tylenol. If it is in your lower back, I would call. My ob said any lower back pain should be taken seriously!

Yes - it could be a number of things. I had this a couple weeks ago and it turned out to be kidney stones - the pain down there was also causing contractions. It could be nothing - or it could be something - definitely call your doctor!

OK...it stopped when I drank some water and walked around.  It might have even been gas pains.  I'll definitely call if it starts again.

I had this the other day-the night before my shower. It hurt to even move for several minutes. I probably should have called, but since I wasn't having contractions and went away the following day, I assumed it was normal. Now that I see that if it's in your lower extremities (as mine was in my lower back on my right side) I'll bring it up at my appointment this week. Glad you started feeling better.
