had the ct scan yesterday and they found nothing. No kidney stones, appendix looks ok and no ovarian cysts. I feel like I am back to square one! Went straight back to the doctors in the afternoon and she is puzzled. She said she wants to look at the ct scan/analysis herself and to see me again on Monday. She's given me some extra pain killers and told me to take the following. 8x paracetamol, 3x diclofenac, 4-8 codeine a day.

Kidney infections and kidney stones are as painful as labor. With a kidney infection you would have a fever and other signs of infection. You also would be tender to the touch about half way up your back on either side of your spine. I had a kidney infection and it makes you puke and feel like you are being stabbed to death, you have a fever and feel horribly horribly sick. Kidney stones you have horrible pain that you are pretty sure you will die from.

and the day after that, i had mild discomfort and pain in my lower back. a nurse has told me that i have kidney stones, but i haven't had xrays or anything. these symptoms in my lower back have lasted for 4 days now. when i wake up in the morning, i don't notice anything at all, but by the end of the day, i'm sore in my lower back especially when seated, it doesn't bother me so much when i'm standing up or laying on my stomach.

0 mm (small one) that stayed lodged in my kidney for 2 yrs playing havoc with pain and then one day it decided to let loose and I passed it and the pain of passing it was less than what I went through on/off for 2yrs. Then I had a 1.0mm one that got stuck very low and caused renal colic for over a week and the CT Scan showed it was very low and finally it passed, too. But yours may be stuck as the Dr above mentioned so I'd go for re eval. I went ev. 6mos for new tests.

Is it around where your kidney would be? Kidney stones and kidney infections are common in pregnancy. If you think it's in the area of the kidney, you shpuld get it checked out.

Kidney stone pain is often associated with low back pain and abdominal pain. Kidney stones, especially those in the left kidney, can also cause significant amounts of nausea and even vomiting. As the stone moves further down the ureter toward the bladder, the pain often radiates in the groin and genital areas. In men, the pain may radiate to the scrotum. In women, the pain may radiate to the labia or even the vagina.

The pain that you describe in the flank region that also appears in the back and in the front can be due to kidney stones. You also have a past history of these. Hence there is a high chance of these. There could be an accompanying UTI. A kidney abscess too will cause similar symptoms but will present with a higher fever. The other possibility is that the ovarian cyst has got twisted. The third possibility of endometriosis can be considered if you have pain only around your periods.

Jackie -- kidney stones can cause back pain, yes, but the pain you have in your right leg could be caused by the nerve impingement at L5-S2 as reported here. You really need to consult with your doctor ASAP about these results to examine treatment options.

All started with Kidney stones. Went to Physical therapy - helped loosen and strengthen back muscles, flexibility is back but didn't help the bone pain. Am getting really frustrated as is my husband. Last time it took 10 years to figure out the hyperparathryoidism - regular dr thinks it is something probably off the wall just will take time to figure it out. I can handle alot of pain - am real good at pushing it back but am at the breaking point.

I've had kidney stones for years and was always told it was caused by too much Uric Acid in the body. Who knows?

Is it possible I had back spasms as a bodily response to the kidney stone? The pain I understand but having back spasms AND a kidney stone at the same time is confusing me. Wouldn't a simple urine test have revealed that I had a stone?

I asked him if it was possible that my stones were moving around and he told me that kidney stones do not move around and they do not cause pain. He told me I needed to have my gallbladder out, so I did to find out 2 weeks later from a different ER doctor that my gallbladder was not infected, inflamed, nor did it possess any gall stones. My GP also would not refer me to a urologists. Instead he referred me to an orthopedic surgeon who did an MRI.

I drink at least a gallon of water each day, am on meds to break up stones, which dont work, on meds for bp which also cuts calcium down in the body, on a low-oxalate diet, low calcium diet, and just found out i have 6 more stones. 1-6mm on left and a 3 mm on left side, and 4 stones with the range of 1-3 mm on the right side. I hurt all the time, urologists thinks im in there for the narcotics, what is someone supposed to do? Hurt?

The other problem in that area that it could be is related to the kidney, so it could be a kidney infection or kidney stones. He would have other symptoms with an infection like an urgent need to urinate or frequent urges to urinate. He could also have a fever, cloudy, dark or very strong smelling urine. With kidney stones there is not always pain if they do not move and a stone can be as small as a grain of sand and can sometimes be felt like colic.
