I Have been having this pain in my right side for about 2 weeks or more. It goes from my lower back, into my side, and down towards my right ovary. It really hurts and I went to the ER and told them my symtoms and they asked if I had this pain before. I said yes right before I found out I had kidney stones. So they do a CT Scan and find no stones, urine has no blood in it. about a week before I had went to the ER because I had recently moved and pulled a muscle in my back. So the doc said it is probably just lower back strain and gave me Robaxin. The Robaxin is not helping at all. It does not ease the pain, make it go away or anything. The medicine actually makes me have to use the bathroom a lot (#2). This pain gets worse when I am standing and almost makes me feel like I wanna pass out and makes me very ill feeling. I had to sit down to cook the other night and was still in pain but not as bad. It makes me feel like I am wore out and it aches constantly. Even sitting now it feels like cramping in my side only on the right. So right above my right hip in the back, around my side, really weird feeling sometimes, kinda unexplainable, like something moving through oraround in there, and down towards my right ovary and stops before it gets to my pelvic bone. Please someone tell me what is wrong with me!

Thanks for the advice. Just don't have health insurance so ER doesn't need money upfront. Kind of sucks to not be able to go to the doctor when something starts hurting. Someone keeps sayin may be my gallbladder, ependix, or a cyst on my ovary. I just don't understand if that's what it is, wouldn't the CT Scan they did show those things?

Sounds like it could be an ovarian cyst or possibly something wrong with your ribs on that side. I had a huge ovarian cyst 3 years ago, and I had the same kind of pain in the same place. It hurt so bad. It was actually a tumor rather than a cyst.
Then a few months ago, I got similar pain but not as severe. I thought it might be an ovarian cyst again, or a UTI. The Urine culture came out negative, so the walk-in clinic referred me to a kidney specialist and I had a CT scan where they found no kidney stones or ovarian cysts, or nothing out of the ordinary. I finally went to my GP (I had been to a walk-in for the urine culture, and then to the kidney specialist, but not my GP), and told him my symptoms and where it hurt (from the middle of my back, around my side, and down near my ovary. I told him that it hurt worse depending on how I sit, and always hurt when I was driving and had my hand on the steering wheel. So he was like, "Oh." and poked me in the side of my back, and I almost went through the roof in pain. He said one of my floating ribs was inflamed. He had me take Celebrex (anti-inflammatory) for 3 weeks. It helped a lot. I still have pain (it's been 5 months), but it's not nearly as bad as it was before, and it's mostly just intermittent now.
I think mine was caused by a fall down my front steps back in January, and then it didn't start hurting until March.
But anyway, it sucks that you can't afford a doctor. Good luck...
