Poor Bella! This is a situation where you should absolutely have your pet seen by a veterinarian. They can do a physical exam to determine where and why she is painful, also blood work and x-rays could also be done. At the very least, it sounds like she needs a pain medication, which your vet can provide. Hope this helps, and best wishes.
