Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Pain: Kidney stone is possible. I have seen them in 12 year olds. However kidney stone pain is usually severe. Women will describe that they would rather have a baby. Still could be though. Kidney infection, bowel , stomach, pneumonia, or simple back pain possible.
