Brief Answer:
Probably kidney stones, kindly more details are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many medical conditions that can cause your symptoms.

Kidney stones are one of the causes.

Another possible cause can be myalgia.

I would like to know more information to help me through the diagnosis.

Do you have any other symptoms?

Has anyone else in your family had kidney stones?

I also suggest to do an ultrasound and a urine test to confirm the diagnosis.

Meanwhile, I suggest to use an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day to relieve the pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
