I had severe back pain for 3 days. I laid in bed and didn't even sit up for that period of time. The pain eased up a bit yesterday. But yesterday I started having pains between my top rib and lower abdomen on the right side. It hurts when I cough, or slightly chuckle. It seems I have to put pressure on it to ease the pain. My comfort level is such that I can not get comfortable enough to rest. Laying down or sitting up. It feels like I need to have a bowel movement really soon. But nothing is happening. Should I be alarmed, or just wait for it to pass ? I am a 65 year old female.
