Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Well I think that the right cause of pain should be established.It sounds like kidney disorder or pancreatic disorder so these 2 should be ruled out first by ct scan and certain blood test. Sonogram is not so sensitive to detect some common pathologies,xrays as well. You should check lipase and amylase levels and your kidney functional tests.
Wish you good health. Regards.
