Answers:
First...I am not a medical professional of any kind.

That said. I had similar symptoms as you describe while working in Kuwait. It depends how sever the pain is in the area of your kidney and if you have any pain when you urinate.

It turned out that I had kidney stones. And in Arab countries they rarely prescribe narcotic painkillers; not even Tylenol #3...and my Kuwaiti doctor was trained in the US and was an excellent MD.

Luckily I had access to the military bases in Kuwait and Iraq (where I worked) since I was a DoD contractor. Once I brought my x-rays in I was able to get some pain relief until the stones pass. So if the pain is BAD...it might be kidney stones.

Good luck..

best to have it checked
could be a kidney
