Hi,
Many reasons describe such pain:
- liver problems - check liver enzymes
- intestinal infections or constipation - do abdominal echo, exam of feces
- urinary and genital tracts problems. - abdominal echo, urine analysis
- neurological - x-ray or ct-scan of spinal cord, lumbar section.
Can discuss with your physician first, then, do the tests.
Hope it helped!
