Dear- thanks for using our service. I understand your concern and agreed that the pain that you are describing is more muscular because it changes when moves. Kidney stone does not change when you move the body. It can be muscle spasm or pinched nerve from bulging disk or spinal stenosis. I recommend you to try an anti-inflammatory to see if you get an improvement of your symptoms. If you don't ,then will need lumbosacral xray .
I hope that my advise has been helpful.
