Could Pain On Left Side Under Ribs Be Due To The Stone In Inferior Pole Of Left Kidney?

I have a 9 mm kidney stone in my inferior pole of my left kidney. A cat scan was taken on 8/18/13. I was told it should not hurt but I am having pain on my left side under my ribs. Could this stone hurt where it is or is there something else I should check into?
