Hi,
Experiencing flank pain could be associated with an underlying cause such as stones in the kidneys.
Kindly get an ultrasound scan done and consult Urologist with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
