Hello,
Yes, the pain is most probably due to your renal microlith. Based on your symptoms, your gastric functions are fine. If you were my patient I would advise drinking lots of warm water and reduced salt intake. This will flush out the stone and relieve your pain.
Hope I have answered all your queries. If you have any further questions I would be happy to help.
I find this answer helpful
