BRAXTON HICK CONTRACTIONS???

I'm only 25 wks almost 26 and I felt an excruciating sharpe twisting cramp like pain that last 15 seconds. Never felt this before, so I called my doctor and they explained that I'm just probably experiencing BHC....but as I'm googling they say they aren't painful, just uncomfortable....so I'm still a bit concerned. When did you guys feel Braxton Hick Contractions & were they painful???!!

My Braxton hicks tighten up my stomach and make me uncomfortable. However I did have really bad back pain. Everyone is different

I had Braxton hicks around weeks 28 because I wasn't drinking enough water but it felt like a tightening pressure not excruciating pain.
