Can Constant Dull Pain From Back To Rib Be Symptoms Of Kidney Stone?

I have been having a constant dull ache in my left side that radiate from my back-side to under my last rib. It almost feels like gas, but has been considant for about a month. nothing seems to make it better or worse. at times I I feel a rumble in the area. It is the exact sam area all the time so Im wondering If it could be kidney stones.
