pain

I am guessing I am having round ligament pain ...possibly? I have seen other posts but unsure if it should be this painful.  Hurts when I get up from a chair or after I pee.  I have tried to get up slower but sometimes I still get the pain.  It is pretty intense and lasts for ~ 4-5 min and may linger a little longer.  After I went to the bathroom (no straining)  it was so intense I had to sit down.  Normal?

Yes, it RLP can be very uncomfortable. I'm sorry!

I've never had it, but from the other posts I've read RLP can be very painful. Hope it gets better!!

Yep, especially if it's one side or the other, mine is usually right above where my thigh meets my torso.  I get it when I sneeze or cough or move too quickly sometimes.  Sucks, and usually stops me dead for a couple minutes.

I had this problem yesterday and yup it's RLP. When I got home I drank so much water (at least 50oz) and I felt better afterwards. Try drinking water and stretch your knees to your abdomen. It worked for me after a while and today I haven't had any problems.

RLP is not fun at all. I get it all the time. Any time I move suddenly, sneeze, cough, laugh too much, it hurts a lot. It feels kind of like the bottom two ab muscles are being pulled out of my body. The best thing I have found for this is taking it easy for a few minutes and actually gently pressing on the muscle where it hurts. I have taken to "bracing" my stomach when I am about to cough or sneeze, it helps prevent the pain from happening. If it is bad enough I will break out a warm (not hot) heating pad.

Good luck with it. If you are truly concerned I would call the doctor. I mentioned it to mine and their reaction was "yeah, that stinks, but that is normal."
