Lately I've been having instances of moderate to severe pain in my lower abdomen. It's down very low near my groin, and slightly to the right, and sometimes it radiates around toward the back near where my right kidney is. I don't know whats causing this, but it's getting pretty bad. I'm scheduled to have an abdominal CT scan tomorrow to see if we can find out what may be causing it. It gets so severe sometimes that it's difficult to stand and it causes me to double over. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Adam

p.s. I put this in the Other severe medical conditions forum because it may not be directly related to my kidneys.
