What Causes Twitching Sensation Near The Right Kidney?

I have a twitching sensation occurring in my back on the right side near my right kidney. It feels exactly like being kicked by a 24 week foetus. I am not pregnant. The sensation has been persisting for about a month now. It is not painful but definitely notable. I have had blood tests in the last month which were all fine apart from cholesterol of 6.6 which I have been addressing with diet. My fathers brothers (uncles) have had kidney stones, renal failure and I have had an ultrasound in the past for PCK which is fine (8 years ago). What course of action would you recommend. Should I be concerned.

Hello
Thanks for query .

Twitching sensation or discomfort in loin could be due to kidney stone and needs to be ruled out.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.

Further treatment if required will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
