[|Human|] Yesterday, I thought maybe I had pulled a muscle in my back, but today, the pain is more intense and it is localized just above my belt line on the right side of my back. Could this be a Kidney stone or infection? If it is a kidney stone, is there anything I can drink or eat that might help?
