By Check Up&Tests: You will know what is causing the pain after consulting your doctor, who will take a detailed history and examination and confirm hoi/her clinical findings by doing teasts like blood/urine test and/or imaging like xrays/ultrasound/cat scan if indicated. So make an appointment with your doctor.
