Hi ! Yes it could be due to a stone in the kidney. The pain of kidney stone may be a dull aching to excruciating one if it blocks the flow of urine. Ultrasound is the best modality of diagnosis for kidney stones. Try to take enough liquids in your diet. You should discuss with your treating doctor and go for an ultrasound abdomen including kidney, ureter, and bladder with prostate to arrive at the diagnosis. If excluded, then you may consider back pain and consult an orthopedic surgeon for an opinion and management. Take care and good luck.
