I've had what seems like kidney pain to me...but is it?

So...the only reason I'm concerned with back pain in the general area of the right kidney is because I've recently had a minor UTI. My question is, can you still develop a kidney infection almost a week after all UTI symptoms have ceased?? The pain is sharp, but intermittent (it comes and goes). Occasionally on the left side as well. No fever, nausea, etc. My entire right side of my back hurts, especially when moving or straining (feels like muscle strain), but the back pain directly under my rib is sharper, that area is a tad sensitive. Intermittent passion going on a week now. SHOULD I be concerned about kidney infection??

    The only way to know is to go and have a urine sample dipped?? it may be the antibiotics u took didn't quite knock the infection off. If u still have kidney pain go and see a dr, it might be u have kidney stones or another issue.

      Okay, thank you! Also, I know it was dumb, but I took no antibiotics. The UTI seems to have cleared on it's own (at least in the lower urinary tract). Just unsure as to whether or not it can spread to the kidneys after leaving the lower tract? I will probably go see my doctor, but I've been for several other issues this month and am probably closing in on my insurance's limit...
