What Causes Dull Pain In Abdomen,bloating Of Stomach And Pain?

I ve had a dull pain on my waist (mostly on right side but sometimes on left), it s been almost a year. I went to doctor a few months ago when I first felt it thinking it was a kidney stone. Had a scan and showed negative for that and no urine infection. I thought it might be muscular but the pain remains, it comes and goes. I have regular bowel movements every day but sometimes I do feel bloated. It s not unbearable, I even exercise when I have the pain but I am beginning to think it might be something else as I am getting more aware of its persistence. I am a healthy female, 49 years old.
