Unsure: This complaint is too broad. This can be pain from the back, muscles kidney or bowel. Possibly even more.

Cannot say: Really impossible to say without a history and physical examination. That is why you should see your doctor and if he/she doesn't know they can send you to a specialist to try and figure it out.
