Need physical exam: As you are 17, and the fact this could be so many different things, recommend seeing a physician and getting assessed. It could be anything from a muscle spasm to kidney or infectious issues. Be careful with heating modalities over a long period of time as it can cause skin damage and something called erythema ab igne. Hope it gets better soon!
