I've had off and on pain in my lower right back for a few months now. It's usually accompanied by some bleeding. Last Saturday I had what i'm guessing was an obstruction. Severe upper abdominal pain, vomiting, then was able to go to the bathroom. Since Saturday, the lower right back pain has been pretty persistent. Any ideas? I'm scared Frowner

Could be a partial blockage, adhesions, an abscess, or even something random like a kidney infection. Blood when you urinate or defecate or randomly?

It is not necessarily a big deal (meaning it might not be anything super serious), but it sounds like you should get it checked out to make sure. Even tiny, minor infections can become large, serious problems if not treated properly.

One way you can usually figure out if there's any sort of infection is taking your temperature. Assuming you're not on Tylenol or NSAIDs, it's unusual to have a bacterial infection without a fever.

This could be two different things, or you could have a smoldering blockage that acted up for a little while. Stick to liquids when you're feeling blocked, and be careful not to get dehydrated. Do you have an appointment scheduled with your GI, to help you sort this out?
