Can Back Pains Near The Kidney Indicate Kidney Stones?
I am been having pain in my kidney area for about a week. As long as I remain stationary (seated, legs up) there is no pain but any movement causes sharp pain in the back, on the right side, kidney area. No fever, occasional sweats, no vomiting. Could it be kidney stones?

Hello,
Any pain in the flank area could be associated with the kidneys however usual kidney pain is not related to movement and is usually comes and goes even if you're just sitting down or lying down.
However, to really confirm if this is not a kidney problem then you need to do a urinalysis and kidney urinary bladder ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
