Contractions Question

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and was having pretty uncomfortable pains (at times shooting). I have also been having tightening on both sides (top and bottom) along with pressure below. 
I have a feeling of  intestinal discomfort everyday. I have been also experiencing results of this at times when I use the RR. 
Anyway, the pains/tightening come and go and last about 2 min. The frequency is not constant. 
I know their not labor contractions but do they sound like actual contractions? 
Sorry so long!
