Pain in kidneys, back

I have been experiencing pain in my back for a number of weeks.
It seems to be mainly localized in my right kidney region.
I also experience mild nausea that comes and goes throughout the
day. No problems with urination or unusual bleeding, etc.
The pain seems related to movement - for example, if I lift
both arms over my head I can feel the painful spot. The left
kidney region also is painful from time to time but not as bad
as the right. I'm wondering what could be causing the pain,
whether it's kidney related or not. Could it be kidney
stone(s)? Would I feel a kidney stone with movement or would
the pain be constant? What other kidney diseases would cause
back pain? Or is this kidney-related at all? Thanks!
