She had the pain a couple days ago and it went away. She described it as painful when taking in a deep breath. Maybe lasts for a day or so then goes away.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

I will advise a sonography of abdomen and pelvis as it is difficult to tell what exactly it is just online.

It can be a renal stone or collection.

Do follow up with me with the reports.
