Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are having flank pain. Most common cause for this is renal stone. So in my opinion, you should definitely get done ultrasound examination of kidney, ureter and bladder (KUB). If this is normal then no need to worry for renal stone. You can try Pregabalin or Gabapentin with Methylcobalamine (B12 vitamin) for possible Neural pain.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.
