kidney stones symptoms left side

This actually does sound like renal colic, which is probably what your doctor is considering, though colic lasting a week is a little atypical. It is usually caused by kidney stones. Tests for kidney stones include urinalysis (to look for microscopic blood in the urine that is not visible to the naked eye, as well as to look for crystals that suggest certain types of stones), Xray to look for certain radio-opaque stones, and sometimes a CT scan to look for non-radio-opaque stones.

Found an kidney stone on the right side now months later left side is tender and swollen an hot! right kidney stone never REMOVED!! now left side feels like it had the stone from the right side??????????? Is that possible???????

Sometimes it feels as if there is abnormal pressure on my left side but at other times it does not. These are my primary symptoms, however a week ago I also had what felt like a muscle spasm originate from the painful area below my left rib...it lasted for several hours. Digestion has been normal and my health is otherwise very good.

I have three kidney stones on in my left kidney (4mm, 6mm, 9mm) they have been there for about a year. Doctor considers them "non obstructive". I get my next ultra sound in April to see if they got bigger or moved. However lately I have some symptoms that can be kidney related. Sometimes I get a bout of nausea - like just a "blah general feeling" last can last up to an hour.

A few days ago, I started having a nagging right side pain and by the next day it was so intense I ended up in the ER. They did bloodwork, uralyisis, ultrasound of my gallbladder and ct scan to check for kidney stones. Everything came back normal and now I'm very frustrated. They sent me home with painkillers and told me it could possibly be my gallbladder, to follow up and get a HIDA scan. Now a couple days later, my side doesn't hurt as bad but is sore.

So for about the last 5 days I've had a dull annoying pain on my left side, kidney area. It feels sort of like a pressure almost gas bubble like, and sort of pulled muscle. Motrin seems to help but I hate taking it constantly. I also haven't been feeling 100% in general, more tired then usual and slight stomach issues, just all around not great. I'm fairly prone to kidney stones so I know what that feels like and I'm pretty sure that's not it.

I am new to kidney stones. I passed my first kidney stone about 2 months ago and I know I have two more. A 2mm on one side and a 4 on the other side. The first one I had happened at night, so I woke up in pain. I am just wondering is there symptoms you can feel when you are awake. Just 4 days ago, I had 4 very sharp pains in the right side my back over a 2 hour period. Today I am hit with a wave of nausea.

its usually worse when i am laying down. Especially on my left side. When i am on my left side the pain will extent to my left lower and upper back as well and i will get random pain or a burning sensation that lasts quite awhile right under my left lower rib in the front. Along with that ive had an off and on low grade fever (98.9 to 99.2) if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!

In my case i had 7 to 8 mm stones twice, once on the right side and then on the left side. I passed both stones with the help of just medication through my urethra. I am again feeling some sensation which travels from my kidney on the right side towards the rectum which causes some pressure in my rectum. I have my CT planned in the days to come. I have uric acid problem since years which hovers atound 7 to 8.

Mid Left side Abdominal pain, starts under the left breast, under the rib cage and can go into side and back.. CT scan is normal, can anyone tell me what this could be. Other than the pain, I have really no other symptoms. I had a endo and colonoscopy last year..and it showed gastritis..but after the ct scan in february...the doctor has no idea what could be wrong. I originally thought maybe pancreas issues...but with the ct normal...

Well I had really bad pain on my left side to the point I was crying so I went to the hospital and there keeping me over night to pass my kidney stones. Anyone else gone through this?

I'm 22 weeks as of tomorrow. I'm having pain on my lower back but on the left side going the whole way to the front. By my ovary its a constant pain n very sharp. Walking standing or laying doesn't help. I currently get P17 shots once a week due to my first son being a 10 week preemie. Idk if this could b a side effect or if something is wrong.

HI I am 31 yr old women I recently had kidney stones a month ago and passed them they think went to er and they were sending it to lab as I was leaving!

Hi. I have had stones for over 30 years and only over the past 5 years had the symptoms you describe. Is the stone exiting the right kidney? <<<<"along with the pain I now have on my right side" = FLANK PAIN. Please google it and see if it matches up to the pain on the side. Is this your first stone? You need to do 24 hour urines and have the stone analyized, VERY important. DRINK DRINK DRINK ALL THE WATER YOU POSSIBLY CAN FORCE IT.

5mm kidney stone in my left kidney and it passed out and i did two times ultrasound and doctor said their are no more stones but their is pain still in my left side in front and in my testicles and sometimes in right side also at the back..

I had the same symptoms last year and it turned out to be kidney stones. I didn't want to take the time to go for the tests (I had the exact same symptoms (I can sympathize with your pain)). It took intolerable pain and severe flu-like symptoms (back pain, abdominal pain that traveled down my right leg, nausea, vomiting, severe headache, high fever) to finally get me to go to the hospital. They found the 100% blockage in my right ureter via CT Scan with contrast.

As per ultrasound report there is a minor hydronophrosis in the right kidney. Are there any more stones left in the kidney but not seen in the ultrasound? or there is any other reason of this pressure and dull pain?

THE PAIN IS LOCATED ON MY LEFT SIDE UPPER BACK JUST ABOVE MY LEFT HIP WHERE MY KIDNEY IS, I HAVE REALLY SHARP PAINS, HOT, AND SOMETIMES A TINGLEING PAIN, AND WHEN I TURN TO LAY ON MY RIGHT SIDE, MY LEFT KIDNEY HURTS WORSE SO IVE GOT TO LAY ON MY LEFT SIDE TO GET THE PAIN TO SLOW DOWN, ITS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, BUT ITS GOTTEN SO WORSE SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT, THEIR IS NO PAIN WITH URINATION, AND ON MY LEFT SIDE, IT FEELS REALLY HOT WHEN THEIRS PAIN!

My latest CT shows multiple stones in both kidneys more in the lower pole of the left kidney without obstruction. Stones in lower pole of right Kidney measuring 2X3mm. More than one stone in lower pole of left kidney measuring 5X3mm. No hydronephrosis. No inflammatory process. But why do I have so much pain on my right side?? I had an IVP done a few months ago, which stated a slight tortuous ureter on the right side.

Hi, I have been diagnosed with several unobstructive kidney stones on my left side. I have no fever...I went to the er and a ct scan showed a 3 cm cyst on my left ovary in addition to revealing the stones (right kidney). I am bloated and aching, and my back and entire abdomen hurts. It's been over a week and half...I am on an antibiotic as well as percocet as it is the only drug that takes the edge off. My question is, how much longer will it take for the stones to pass?

I been having pain in my left kidney area which is flanking over to front side. I went to ER 12/28/14, where they took blood and did a urinalysis as well. My potassium was low. They did not do a CT scan..even though my urine was clear. It still is hurting.

Could be your kidney, I have kidney stones and it started with upper right side pain right below the breast. Might want to watch and see if it gets better or worse and bring it up with your ob. My last pregnancy the baby was pinching my ureter and making it so that my kidney couldn't drain that's what was causing me pain last time. This time my kidney is blocked due to stones it's very painful.

urine flow can be comprimised if stone blocks ureter and kidney will swell causing back pain towards side. if left untreated can cause infection. go see a urologist or nephrologist as soon as you can or strain urine at home everytime you pee till pain is completely gone. some stones take forever to pass and others are quick. its good to know what kind of stone you have to try to prevent another. good luck.
