Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concern. I understand that you feel that you do not have constipation but pain the mentioned area could either by constipation, colonic pathology or ovarian causes (since these are the structures present there). Pain from urinary tract infection (UTI) could also be referred there. So, a clinical evaluation backed with suitable investigations is important.
The first step can be to get a urine microscopy and culture done.
Let me know if I could help further.
