What Causes Upper Quadrant Abdominal Pain Radiating To The Back?

Been ill since early April. Suffering from right, upper quadrant abdominal pains, stabbing feeling which radiates through to the back. This lasts for 1 hour + and I struggle to sleep on my right side when I m having an episode . Joint pains, mostly in right knee and ankles, although I have had injuries in my right knee and left ankle before. Diarrhoea, nausea and severe fatigue and weakness, headaches occur 1/2 times a day and are usually located on the right. I noticed yesterday that my upper arms were boiling hot, as was my neck - felt similar to fresh sunburn. My doctor has hinted at kidney problems (family history too) but any idea of what this could be? Much appreciated!
