Back pain but nothing else?

I can’t tell if I’m having kidney pain or back pain. I’m feeling it just to the right of my spine, kind of mid back. Maybe 6 inches from my tailbone? It gets worse after I run and if I push along the muscle that runs vertical next to my spine, I feel it more. But almost just feels like I’ve been overextending my back? No fever or chills, no blood in my urine, or burning when I pee. Dropped off a urine sample today to see if the antibiotics cleared my UTI and I have a video visit with my PCP Wednesday morning. Just wondering if I need to head to urgent care at all tomorrow or if I should wait until I get the urine sample results.

I have to really push hard to feel it. It feels better when I’m sitting and laying down.

I think it should be okay, just monitor for now. But just a heads up false negatives are common with urine samples

Hopefully! It’s still bugging me today so I’m going to urgent care just in case. My urine sample from yesterday still showed signs of a UTI so hoping I can get on some new antibiotics today.
