Back, or kidney? What is this pain?
I'm M/16. I've been having a back pain for the last few days. Its not bad, but I feel it while bending over and moving in certain ways. Its on the lower right side of my spine. I've been doing a lot of work lately, painting, moving things etc. But can it possibly be my kidneys? I don't drink that much water. But, somedays I drink A LOT of water. Probably more than 8 glasses. And when I do, I piss non stop. Its like If I want to drink enough water, I have to piss buckets.

You have asked a question that we cannot truly answer for two reasons. One, we are not doctors. Two, any medical question like yours requires a doctor to examine you. This cannot be done over the web. So even if we were doctors we could not answer your question.
We can make an educated guess based on our own experiences but this is not a good idea as we may have the same symptoms for entirely different problems. You could for example be having some type of UTI/Kidney problem or a simple muscle spasm.
It is a relatively simple exam for the doctor to find out if you have a UTI, you pee in a cup and maybe a blood test. If the doctor whats to check for a muscle spasm the doctor will simply palpate the muscles on your right side. What the doctor checks for and the type of exam and testing done will be based on what information you give the Doctor.
My advice is to see a doctor and tell him/her everything you can about the when where and why of your pain.

It could be your kidneys. Judging by the information you've given, if it burns sometimes while you pee and drinking a lot of water helps you go and stops the stinging/burning than it most likely is your kidneys. I've had bad UTIS and problems with my kidneys not filtering properly. Either way you should go to the doctor and get a proper diagnosis. For the mean time drink plenty of water and try a cold pack on your lower back. Cranberry juice may help as well. Good luck and get well soon.
