This type of pain is: very aggravating. It is very likely musculoskeletal coming from a strain of the paralumbar supporting muscles .... but it could be referred pain from the kidneys, spleen, or even some irritation of the peritoneal lining of the abdomen near the stomach. After several days, it is time for evaluation...an history and exam by your provider with some lab tests and possible imaging. Good wishes:)
