You might have an infection. Please get checked out
Make sure you have no urinary tract infection.
Check for kidney stone, clot, mass, or cysts. Infection can also cause pain, but the patient has fever with it.
I am not sure what is your age, but there could be reflux. You need to get checked out by a Urologist to ensure you don't have vesicoureteral reflux. You need to check your urine to make sure you don't have urine infection. Also, would get a renal ultrasound to make sure you don't have hydronephrosis or kidney stones, or to make sure you don't have a kidney mass (less likely).
