Lower back and abdomen pain - General Health Message Board

In the last few months i've been waking up almost every morning with pain in my lower back and abdomen. It somewhat resembles muscle pain and a kind of pressure, and goes away a short time after i get up or after i go to the bathroom.
At first i thought that maybe it had to do something with my sleeping position, but it's not that my sleeping habits changed lately, i've always been sleeping this way, and i've never experienced this pain until a few months ago. Sometimes it's so strong that i can't keep lying anymore and have to get up so it'll go away. Also, it only happens when i wake up at the morning, and never during the rest of the day.
Anyone has an idea what might be causing it? I didn't really think about it before, but recently it started bothering me..

Hi there.

I had the same pain for about a month, ended up in the ER last Friday morning, and turned out I had gall stones. They removed my gall bladder later that day and I'm feeling much better. No more pain, just still trying to recover from my surgery. I would get it checked out.
