Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Does the pain feel like a constant dull ache or is it crampy in nature?
Do you have fever or vomiting?
Have you passed stools?
Is the abdomen distended?
Does it hurt to move?
The pain may be related to muscular ache, renal stone or due to an intestinal inflammation. The fact that the area is tender to touch, it seems alarming. I would consider a visit to a doctor / ER for detailed evaluation. Careful abdominal examination, a few blood test along with X-rays and abdominal ultrasound scan may be needed to confirm diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
Regards

1) Pain is mostly a dull ache, but I am also gassy so that creates the crampy feeling every once in a while.
2) No fever or vomiting
3) Abdomen is not distended.
4) When I first stand up after sitting for a while there is a mild pain in area, but not severe by any means

Brief Answer:
Need evaluation as indicated...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am not sure if you were constipated or if you had loose stools? If you have urinary problems it may be related too.
Based on the details provided, the symptoms may be related to an intestinal condition. And if the pain is gradually worsening, it would be worthwhile to see a doctor and get through aforementioned investigations. NSAID pain medications coupled with antispasmodic agents would be prescribed to treat the pain symptomatically.
Hope this helped. Let me know if you need clarifications.
