Brief Answer:
It could be a muscle pull or a kidney tract stone.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Thanks for your question.
The pain you mention is most likely muscular pull due to exercise which should go in a week to ten days with rest and the medicine you are taking.
The other possibility is a Kidney tract stone which can also cause similar symptoms. In this you could experience burning while passing urine. Please get an Ultrasound Abdomen and KUB done to rule this out. It will easily tell whether there is any suspicion of this. Then we can formulate a treatment plan accordingly.
Either way nothing to worry about.
Do let me know the report so I can guide you along further.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, XXXXXXX
