I have a painful lower abdomen left side...where the kidney is. hurts if i stretch, i can feel it more when i push in on the flower front side, been like this for about a week, doesn't seem to get worse or better?

See a Doctor: Could be kidney problems or a stone, diverticulitis of the bowel.You need a ua to check for blood and protein, check of stool for blood. A good physical exam and thorough history may also help shed some light on what is going on, too. Eventually you may need a ct with contrast to get a better idea but this carries a high dose of radiation to get an answer.Don't try to self-diagnose.

Sounds: More like diverticular or colon problem rather than kidney related. Could also be constipation. See your doctor or a colon and rectal surgeon or GI doctor. Don't ignore this..
