An aching lower back , a feeling in your crotch like you want to defecate, hip ache. My stepdaughter's wondering whether it's because I'm not drinking enough.

When was the last time you had a “digital” exam?

My simple assessment for hydration is whether my lips are moist or dry, but I don't know the false negative/positive rates on that. I use it when my kids are fevered also. If I get more dehydrated I get a headache. The only time I have had pain my lower and hips was due to stress response. The only time I felt like I had to defecate was related to gynecological issues.
