kidney stones leg pain

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.

Definitely sounds like your siatic nerve, I suffer from kidney stones and things like that and believe me kidney stones are equal to giving birth on the pain scale. And also I've never had my leg hurt due to kidney stones.

Medullary Sponge Kidney Disease. I have about 16 stones from 1-2 cm in my right kidney. Have never passed any stones. I have had HIDA Scan, Ultrasound, enoscopy, colonoscopy, CT scans with and without contrast and lots of labs. I am in so much pain daily with right quad pain in front and the pain radiates to the right flank. Sometimes down my right leg and groin area. Doctors have given up and just prescribe me Delodid and viccodin. I work for a doctor and i cant function on those medications.

INCREASE UR FLUIDS INTAKE AND TAKE NSAIDS FOR PAIN.

I had severe pain in my right side, was constipated, and nauseas. This particular time they found kidney stones, which passed. (I had an Xray, an ultrasound, and xray with dye). In July of 2007 I had another severe attack and was hospitalized with an infection for a week. It hurt so much that I could barely talk. They found another kidney stone and I was scheduled to have it removed in September. I had several more infections/ attacks between July and Sept.

In cases of hernia, a prominent bulge along with testicular pain is there and in cases of kidney or ureteric stones, pain during micturition may also be there. In your case, it can be due to excessive bicycle riding or kidney or ureteric stones. Lab investigations like complete blood examination, urine examination, ultrasound lower abdomen and sometimes a urethral swab will help in diagnosis. Treatment will be started thereafter. My advise would be to consult a urologist.

Hi and WELCOME to our Kidney Stone Community. I'm not a doctor, but do have too much experience with kidney stones. For me, I'd get pings and pangs in my kidney as well as microhematuria (blood you cannot see by eye) in my urine when I have stones. I've also had the flank pain you describe .. for me it's been in the lower back. I hope with lots of water your stones move out for you uneveventfully. Please keep in touch. From what I've read stones <5.

The character ,location and timing of the pain is necessary to give us an idea of the cause. Problems concerning the urinary tract like kidney stones, stones in the ureters ( tubes where the urine flows),bladder stones and infections may cause referred pain to nearby structures.Nerve related causes such as nerve compression may cause a burning shooting pain and may be associated with tingling sensation or numbness.

Hello, Since the kindey stone is 7 mm, so the symptoms seem unrelated to the kidney stones. Since you are having pedal or leg edema, hence your cardiac, liver and kidney functions need to be assessed for which I suggest you to consult a physician immediately. Abdominal causes like irritable bowel syndrome can also cause such symptoms. Common symptoms include abdominal cramping or pain, bloating and gassiness, and altered bowel habits(alternate constipation and loose stools).

Renal CT scan showed 1 mm stone in right kidney, 2 even smaller stones in left kidney. Was given hydrocodone for pain and phenagren in case pain meds cause nausea and told to see a urologist asap. My question is, if the stones are still in my kidneys how can they be causing all the lower abdominal pain and pressure. This pain is worse after I walk much, and when my bladder is getting full before I urinate. Urination does NOT hurt though. I have had no fever at all.

I am 8 months pregnant and I have two kidney stones (7mm and 11mm). My doctor put a stent in me and wants to keep it there until the baby is born. Both stones are on my right side and after the procedure I've been having pinching pain in my right leg and lower back. I've been having mild contractions here and there which he said is normal. Is something wrong?

I just was released from the hospital after a 3 day stay for kidney stones. Starting in the middle of last night I began to experience occasional random burning sensations on the outside of the thigh just above the knee (in the same area). Any thoughts on what it might be?

Also the pain is shooting all the way down to my leg now and at times I can even feel it in my foot kind of feeling like a pinched nerve but it's not and I do have kidney stones but I have never had a kidney stones that hurt this bad

at first it was just tender and i had blood in my urine and was told it was kidney stones and had a xray but no stones found. full bloods and internal swabs all normal.I had last had an utlra sound of my uterus and kidneys when my youngest was 4months old, that was fine. gradually the pain had progressed to my lower back and right side of my back.. been to my doctors so many times. one doctor said it was my sacroiliac joint. Since then ive had 2 uti's.

One cause of lower abdominal pain that radiates down to the groin and leg are kidney stones in the ureter or some other disorder that causes spasms in the ureter. Certain liver disorders (hepatitis) are associated with ureteral stones.

diagnosis final diagnosis=acute pyelonephritis additional diagnosis=renal colic = pain that comes in waves thrombocytopenia-unspecified I don't know your health history nor am I a doctor but from what you have written it sounds like you had a kidney stone and that caused an infection when the stone was trying to pass. This is a rather common occurrence with kidney stones and has nothing to due with any other health conditions you may have.

I'm a 31 year old mother of four. I've never had stones until a year and half ago. Since then I've passed countless stones and had lithotripsy once. I understand the chronic pain. I just chalked up my pain to malformed kidneys. I WAS WRONG!!! Two weeks I began passinf large wormed shaped blood clots. I called my urologist and he scheduled ivp. I have papiallary necrosis. Yes, part of my kidney is dead and I was passing tissue. MSK puts you at an increased risk for this.

Even I have had stone problem since many years. I get back pain or leg ache even when the stones are inside the kidney. Doctors have told me that if it is in the kidney it won’t pain but I disagree with them. I get very frustrated at times with this recurring problem. I have made dietary changes and also increased water consumption but new stones keep forming.

he has had previous issues with kidney stones since he was a freshman in highschool. he says this pain is different from the pain he has had experienced from his kidney stones. if you have any ideas as to what this could be i would greatly appreciate it.

She has no family history of kidney stones other then herself she is around 50-58 in age is very good at holding pain back but this is one pain she can't ignore. She also has a history of diabetes type 2 after I was born due to bad health care from a HMO.

Hi everyone... Okay,so for the 7th time this year I have kidney stones again - I am a 20yr old female (and I live a healthy life) ... Doc put a stent in my right ureter cause my kidney is PACKED with stones! I had a UTI but that was treated in hospital when the stent was inserted... I am battling with my period,its like it just ran away or something... Can it just disappear? Like for 2months or longer?

For the past two to three months I've been having this sharp horrible pain on my lower left side of back that when I'm laying down or leaning it feels like a stabbing. If I move my left leg just the tiniest bit it stabs, To the point of a loud scream or I cry... sometimes I can't move or I need help from someone. A friend mentioned a possibility of kidney infection, doctor said possibly sciatica. No medicine or massage helps. Anyone else have this happen??

I have had pain for 4 weeks now. Originally diagnosed as kidney stones. I was put on antibiotics for a week on day 4 and booked in for an ultra sound. I was also given diclofenac to help with the pain. Avo upper data later the pain did not get better. I went back to the doctors and they weren't sure it was a kidney stone. Occasionally pain worsened on some days. Was prescribed codeine for when I needed it. I continued having pain and was signed off work. I only had fever on day 2.

t (as of yet) so i have not had the u/s done, if the only reason he diagnosed it at kidney stones was from my description of the pain and red blood cells in my urine test could he have been wrong and it be something else (i know urine infections cause blood in wee (i have had no visible evidence of this) but i have no stinging, smelly discharge ect) Any other ideas?

I have had half a dozen kidney stones in the last year or so. This definitely sounds like it could be a stone. The pain generally happens as the stone goes into the ureter and travels to the bladder. Once in the bladder, it doesn't usually hurt too much but may cause frequent urination, etc. If you don't have anymore pain, i would just strain your urine for awhile and wait to pass the stone. If you have more pain, you can go to the ER and have a scan done.
