Back pain or kidney pain?

For most of today I've had a dull aching pain in my right flank. It travels down my right side and occasionally into my right hip and lower abdomen. It pretty much goes with paracetomol and is worse when I'm up walking around or lying on my left side. It's less bad in certain sitting positions and worse in others. Does anyone have experience of this? I had cystitis last week which is why I'm questioning whether it's my kidney.

It sounds very possible that the infection has gone up into kidney. As kidney infections ca get worse pretty quickly, I would ring 111 for advice.

I'd agree with PP. An infection can travel up to your kidney very quickly and you can end up really ill. I'd call 111 and follow their advice.
