What Causes Persistent Pain In Kidneys?

I have had pain in both kidneys for almost 3 weeks and also dry mouth especially at night. I am a thin, small boned 63 year old woman in very good health. My doctor has ordered a CT scan for Tuesday of next week. I had to convince her it was not muscle pain but pain coming directly from mostly the left kidney but today the right kidney is also painful. What do you think may be the problem?
