What Causes Right Flank Pain When Walking?
I developed sudden severe pain right flank pain while walking a week in a half ago. Now the pain is not as severe, but it comes only when I am walking. The more I walk the more intense it becomes, however, once I stop walking or shift my weight it stops. Could it be kidney stones?

Hello
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
There may be many reason for such complain but it is very early to say whether its kidney stone or something else. But yes it may be kidney stone reason when you walk or do any physical work then the water level in body decrease or when your urinary bladder is empty you start pain.
Suggest you to go for Ultrasonography so that it could be diagnosed
Then on the basis of finding further medication can be initiated
Hope this is cleear to you
