Needs examination: Variety of possibilities - muscle/spine, urine/kidney, bowel, or even testicle related problem with referred pain. Needs an examination and may need tests such as urinalysis and bloods, maybe even X-rays or scans if appropriate to sort the cause out if not clear from examination. See doctor to sort things out. All the best
