Hello
Thanks for query .

Pain in Rt flank radiating downwards toward pelvis can be due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter and not due to Interstitial Cystitis

In view of you having only one kidney you need to get investigated to rule out presence of urinary stone .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis
