Hi, I am having an achy pain in my left kidney/lower rib area predominantly (sore to touch lower rib), although at the moment both sides are aching. Both of my hips are sore & I have been having bowel issues (diahorrea, but not constant - just when I go it is very loose) for the last week. It doesn't seem specific enough to warrant time off work for an appointment, but my husband thinks I should find out what's going on. My previous history - 2 x caesarians, appendectomy, gall bladder removed (not smooth sailing on that one!), ovarian cysts removed x 2. Last surgery the doctor specifically mentioned that I've developed quite a lot of adhesions.
