My l kidney has been sore and swollen on and off for a month & (rarely) also had some slight tightness in my upper r quadrent. (i don't have infect)

Is it kidney?: Pain in this area may be due to muscle pain also. You need to get a kidney ultrasound to rule out any actual kidney disease including tumors, stones, and infection. Rarely you may get infection in kidneys that does not show up in urine.
