I got pain exactly like that a couple of months after Christopher was born. It happened twice. The first time I was afraid I had a kidney infection but then it went away. The second time it came on a lot slower and I realized it was a muscle spasm. If it happens to you again take four advil and put a heating pad on it, it works wonders.
I did use a heating pad... and it's the only thing that really helped. Well, maybe the shower did too.
I also thought it was my kidney. I even looked up symptoms of kidney stones online, to see if I could diagnose myself. Nice to know it's not my kidneys!
I got a really sore lower back when Laura was younger. Though I'm pretty sure it was muscle strain, because it was right about the time I was starting to put Laura in her crib for her daytime naps, instead of having her sleep anywhere. So, I think it was the constant bending and lifting. It took a couple of days to get over though and didn't just disappear suddenly. -Wendy
Well, it may have disappeared suddenly, but it came back the next morning. Then on day 3 I was great all day, but come evening it came back again.
So either I'm getting the same thing each day, or it's something different now. Either way, I hope it will stop happening soon. I'm going to try to make sure I'm careful when I lift Luke.

I'll be on the lookout in case that happens to me.

The heating pad is my friend.
