I am a 21 year old female. i've been having sharp cramps in my hip but nothing unbearable. just noticeable. also very gassy and the cramps in the left side of my hip seem to come on as my belly is rumbling. what could this be?

Referred pain: Many people experience low back/and or hip pain with constipation and often the pain subsides with a good bm. The autonomic nervous system controls your bodily functions and carries pain signal to your brain. When the lower abd/intestine gets irritated and contracts, this can generate pain sensation which you can feel in back or hips area. If this is new, consult doc for eval. Good luck.
