[|Human|] Thursday I had this sharp pain on the left side lower back and then had this pressure on the lower left side of my abdomen it was so bad I thought I would need to go to the hospital. Yesterday I had pressure lower abdomen all day and today when I go to the bathroom this pressure hurts.. Not sure what I need to do. I did start my period but this is different.
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctorYour description pain is like you have colic which can be due to kidney stone somewhere in the urinary tract, painful urination could be part of colic or if you also have burning and frequent urination it may point towards infection that is UTI. As you have started period also sometimes pain of spasmodic nature may be attributed to period, but unilateral nature of pain goes in favor of Renal Colic. Please visit Hospital/Surgeon who will examine and a X-ray PUB and Sonography of abdomen would give cause of pain, a CBC and Urinalysis will help to know infection. For pain, you may take simple analgesic like paracetamol. Take care Good Luck to you
