I have had a dull but sharp pain in the lower right side of my back that travels a little ways into my abdomen when using the bathroom sometimes, mostly just when urinating. I have had this pain I would say at least for a year, if not more. Also, recently, I have noticed that after wiping, the paper is covered is bright red blood and this is starting to scare me. I plan to see a doctor, but was just wondering what some possible causes & explanations for these symptoms could be. Please let me know at your earliest convenience & thank you! Stacie
