Dull pain on left side

So for about the last 5 days I've had a dull annoying pain on my left side kidney area. It feels sort of like a pressure almost gas bubble like and sort of pulled muscle. Motrin seems to help but I hate taking it constantly. I also haven't been feeling 100% in general more tired then usual and slight stomach issues just all around not great. I'm fairly prone to kidney stones so I know what that feels like and I'm pretty sure that's not it. When it first started I thought maybe it was the start of a kidney stone attack but it never materialize to that kind of pain. I'm posting on here just to start to figure out what the problem may be and what action I should take. (Though I hate having to call the doctor and worry my family)

Hi What other symptoms are present? I understand your concern regarding this and the dull pain may be associated with infection or even muscle spasm. And to determine if there is indeed an infection urine test may need to be done. Drinking plenty of fluids is highly recommended. Take care and do keep us posted.
