Q: Pain in right kidney ?

Hello!

I'm 18 years old and the pain I'm getting is excactly like the kind you get if you drink like a glass of Coca-Cola or juice before starting excercizing/dancing.
Only now, I'm getting it by just walking. If I stop it stops hurting in like a minute or even less.

It's located about 2-3 inches right of my bellybutton and slightly behing my right ribs (I have to sort of hook my fingers a little under it to touch the aching part).

Could anyone please tell me why am I getting this pain and how could I solve it.

Welcome

I'm not sure what you mean. Have you been to a Dr.? Do you mean a "stitch" in your side? If it continues or gets worse you should see a Dr. Hope you are feeling better. Good luck.

No, I meant a pain in my side. I don't have a stitch, exept for the one from my appendix (spelling?) surgery like 5-7 years ago.

I've noticed that when I am drinking/eating/smoking, the pain is more likely to appear.

So, you still get this pain? It could be an obstruction in your kidney, or kidney stones. The only way to know is to see your Dr. He could refer you to a urologist. It could also be a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). You won't know until you get tested. Good luck.
