no problem with urinating and bowel elimination. Pain comes over like a wave and is constant, lingering, and gnawing.

Brief Answer:
2 possibilities

Detailed Answer:
There are two possibilities I see
1. a severe gastritis. Especially with the type of pain you have mentioned.
2. possibility of a renal calculi. This is a type of stone formation in the body. When it moves, it causes pain that has similar area distribution as mentioned by you.

For the second. I would suggest an ultrasound of the abdomen. Doing a urine routine as well is a good idea as well.
For severe gastritis, you can try a course of proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole.

Best of luck
