Is Recurring Flank Pain Symptom Of Kidney Disease?

Hello, I have been experiencing severe flank pain for a few years now. When it comes on, it is usually both sides, sometimes only one side. The pain only lasts for a matter of a few minutes (longest it lasted was probably 40min-1hour) It occurs about once a week or two. I know that flank pain is usually associated with kidneys, but with such intermittent pain over a long period of time, I wonder what it may be

Hi the pain may be related to kidneys, but most likely it is due to kidney stones. Do get your urine examined and get an abdomino pelvic sonography too to rule this out---regards
