Does Dull Ache In The Abdomen Indicate Kidney Problem?

My husband has been experiencing what he describes as a dull ache on his rt side, going towards his back. It first started years ago when he first had kidney stones. He may go months without having it, but then all of a sudden he will have it for several days. Sometimes Tylenol helps; sometimes not. He has been having problems for about 4 days now with it. Could this be kidney related?
