Not likely: The symptoms you are describing are not classic for kidney stones. You could have a smoldering infection, stone, or this pain could be unrelated to your urinary tract. See your general practitioner to decide if a ct is necessary to look for stones.

Possible: Kidney stones can cause pain as described above; other possibilities are muscle pain, spine or intraabdominal causes.

Could be: Your symptoms are not typical of renal stones, but do not exclude kidney stones. You should see your doctor for an evaluation, as it may require urine test and imaging. See this site for more information on the topic. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/kidney-stones/ds00282.

Possible: Kidney stone is possible .A very no-invasive test like ultrasound would be a good first step.Musculoskeletal pain i also possible. You need a history and physical exam then the doctor will go from there. Best of luck.
