Should I Consult my doctor Immediately about Pain in the Rig Posted: 08-16-06 13:07pm
Stent was removed in 2005 after a month.
I'm now experiencing right flank pain
again, and I'm starting to feel tired with
activity. Could this be the ureter again
and/ or the kidney? Should I consult my
doctor right away or just rest, giving it
some time to go away?
It seems wise that you consult your
doctor. An abdominal ultrasound and
blood/urine analyses (urea, creatinin,
proteins in urine, urine sediment…) are
necessary diagnostic procedures at this
time. You may be experiencing a kidney or
ureter stone.
