Pain caused by kidney stones or something else? Posted: 08-04-07 02:42am
I went to the hospital last Sunday, had a
cat scan, and the dr told me I had a
kidney stone that was 1/4 of the way down.
Bad news, there is another on the same
side. Pain re-occured tonight on the
other side, but same pain, every 1/2 hr
for 4 hrs so far. Could this be kidney
stones or something else?
If the pain you are experiencing is
similar to the first where kidney stone
was detected, it could be due to another
kidney stone or could be a pain that is
reflected from the first side where the
stone was detected. You can request an
ultrasound examination of the abdomen for
a correct diagnosis.
