Kidney pains?!

I'm female, 18, don't smoke, or do drugs, I drink occasionally but not a lot.
About 7weeks ago I started to get intense abdominal pains, and I finally went to the doctors about 4 weeks later and they said it was a water infection and prescribed me anti biotics, it's went away, then one night a few days into my meds I woke up with an awful pain in my shoulder when I took a breath, moved in  a certain way, sneezed, yawned, coughed or laughed, ignored it because a friend said it was trapped wind and then I started to get an even worse pain in my back under and around my lower ribs (this whole thing is on my right side) I then went urgent care centre they said it was pleurisy, from what I know the pain I had was nothing like those caused by pleurisy, but they prescribed ibruprofen which are doing absolutely nothing for the pain or 'inflammation' as the docs said it would, I've now finished my course and I'm having the worst pain or ever felt in my back still, worsened by laughing or pressure or deep breaths, lying down, yawning sneezing, anything Whith a lot of pressure on my back or when I breath.. If anyone could tell me anything about what this could be it would be so much help as my doctors kept messing me around and I've now moved house. I need some advice please.

HI,
What other symptoms are present? Was there history of trauma or injury to your back?  The pain could be due to musculoskeletal issues as well as referred pain. This usually responds to pain medications.  If the pain persists, further evaluation may need to be done and imaging studies may help. Take care and do keep us posted.
