I just feel off....

Kind of hard to describe. I have just felt really off for the past week. And really clumsy. Just keep doing stupid little things. And my hands have gotten really shaky. Havent really thought anything of it because its close to that time of the month and I tend to get clumsy and shaky then. But late last night my side started hurting, just a dull pain but I had been laying weird so ignored it. Got up this morning and it was still there but yet again just figured it was where I was getting close to starting. But it has gotten worse as the day has gone on. I just have this pain in my lower left side. It feels better if I have pressure on it. Hurts really bad if I breathe deeply. Moving positions seems to help a little but not for long. I feel like I need to be more but no pain. Getting worried now that its something more. I dont have insurance at the moment, but will go to the ER if I need.
Anyone have any ideas?
One friend who is a home health nurse said it sounded like Kidney stones.

If nothing else can I have some vibes

Well that doesn't sound good at all!! If it gets worse, it sounds like you should definitely go to the ER and get checked out. Sending that you feel better and it's nothing serious!!

Usually if it's kidney stones you will have severe pain, like a 12 on a scale of 10. The kind of pain you're describing could be so many things, and none of us are qualified to give you a diagnosis. I know it's hard without insurance (I've been there), but you really need to see a doctor. The best thing would be to call your own doctor for an appointment, if you have one. Getting an appointment as a new patient can sometimes take a long time. Next choice would be an Urgent Care Center, if it gets so bad you can't wait for a regular appointment. Last resort (an most expensive) is an emergency room.

for feeling better soon.

I would absolutely get checked out hun as it is always better to be safe rather than sorry. Hope you feel better soon.

thanks guys. I dont have a doctor here yet. I've only been here about 2 months. Its a little worse this morning. I think I will see how it goes at work today and go from there. I took half of a hydrocodone last night and apparently it stormed and I had no clue....

I agree with the suggestions to call your doctor's nurse or visit an urgent care center.

Not referring to the clumsiness but if you are feeling pain just below the rib cage, it could be anything from ulcers to the spleen, pancreas, nerves, or the stomach itself...etc.

Scary. Hope you can get some medical help soon. Is there an urgent care place near you? I'm pretty sure you cannot be refused treatment, regardless of your ability to pay. At least in my state, that's the law.

I agree with the others; you need to get this checked. Sending loads of
that you feel better soon.
