When does pain need to be checked?

Uggggg. My back had started to feel like its old self. And then this

I ran the tractor on Sunday, with the back brace and was a bit stiff but not bad. I swam on Monday morning. Saw the wonderful Molly on Tuesday. She noticed my right side was very ouchy to the touch.(It never is. It has always for years, been my left side that is the whiner). She suggested maybe I was catching a cold. Didn't really think about it. Just tried not to bend over too fast.

Don't remember too much hurting on Wednesday or Thursday, but Friday, my coworker asked me if I was OK. She said I was moving more stiff than normal. I said my back hurt, but I couldn't remember twisting it. It was stiff.

Friday, I finally took some drugs and it felt better, but now it was becoming a dull ache across the back and toward the right side. Even Brandt noticed my ouchiness. He said it sounded like when he had kidney stones. I asked him what he thought the doctor would say. We agreed it would be drink lots of water and rest. So, I did.

Saturday I could hardly move. Took my tempature. 97.5 (normal). Pulse was normal, even used the blood pressure cuff, normal. So why call the doctor. It is after all Saturday. I stayed home and moved sparingly, but couldn't find a comfortable position for very long. Drank nearly 4 liters of water and eliminated accordingly.

Pressure remains dull unless I bend over then it is sharp and unbearable. Went to bed at 8 and finally woke up at 8:30 this morning. Not normal, unless I am sick.

Uggggg. So I finally call the doctor. Because there is no fever, etc. I have an appointment at 3 tomorrow.

Let you know.
