📖What is Flank Pain?

Flank pain is discomfort felt on either side of the back between the ribs and the hip, often described as a deep, dull ache or, in the case of kidney stones, a sudden severe cramping pain that comes in waves. It frequently relates to the kidney on that side but can also arise from muscles, nerves, or other nearby organs.
