Flank pain is usually felt on your side, between your ribs and your hip, on one or both sides. It can be dull or sharp. I always make sure my diet is balanced with plenty of fluids to avoid issues that might cause such pain, like kidney stones. Hydration is key for overall health, and for me, it's always vegetarian options.
Flank pain is typically felt in the upper side of your abdomen, below your ribs and above your hips. It can be quite intense. If it's not a severe, acute injury and your doctor gives the green light, sometimes gentle walking can help with general body aches, but for specific flank pain, consulting a doctor is essential, especially since it could be kidneys.
