anyone know what is going on here?

I have been having some dull pain in my lower back the last few days. It doesn't feel like it is the muscles of my back, it is more like the pain comes from inside my abdomen, like my kidney area maybe or possibly large intestine. The pain comes and goes throughout the day. The pain is about a 2 on a scale of 1-10. There has been some recent medical history I should tell you about. First, I got a yeast infection and maybe a mild uti from sex about 9 days ago. It seemed to clear up after about 5 days of probiotics and herbs. Then 3 days ago they sprayed for mosquitos in my town during the night and I didn't know about it, so the windows were open all night. It was either the morning after that, or the next morning that the pain started. The night before the pain started we had shrimp for dinner. My husband thought they tasted really strongly of iodine. And finally, I feel like I have been constipated the last few days. The stool is not dry, it just isn't very regular like it usually is.
So all these little things have me really wondering what is going on. Am I just constipated? Did I get some kind of poisoning from the shrimp, or from the mosquito spray? Is it a kidney infection from the uti? Hmm. I just don't know. Any thoughts?

Does it hurt if you tap on your back where your kidney are? Do you have a fever or feel really tired/worn out?

I would probably say it is either from constipation or a possible kidney infection. You could have them do a quick UA and check for anything.

I don't know anything about the shrimp and Last night they sprayed for mosquitos in our town with the windows open as well and we all feel fine so I think you are safe there. Probably not a good practice but what are we to do when they spray after we go to bed huh?

Hope you start feeling better soon.
