Right Flank Pressure?

I'm going to call my doctor when they come back from lunch, but have any of you experienced this? It feels like someone is squeezing my side, in the small if my waist right below the ribs. It's only on my right side. I've felt it before being pregnant as well. It usually comes with UTI symptoms, though UA always shows no bacteria, only some increase in WBCs. Does this sound like a kidney infection? I'm a little worried. 

I guess I should add that this has happened to me about 5 times since September. Same symptoms everytime with the same UA results. I haven't been to a urologist yet because the referral keeps not making it there, and by the time I get around to really pushing them to get me in, I feel better.

  • A kidney infection will show bacteria in a u/a.  When I have had kidney infections I can hardly move and my temp spikes really quickly.  I hope the doctor can help you!

    That's what I find odd. I'm not in severe pain, just uncomfortable. Maybe it's my intestines? I do have IBS. I'm just tired of having flare ups. :/

    Two more hours until their office is open again! They take a break from like 11 to 230 every day. Very irritating...
