Hi, yesterday I had a kidney ultrasound to follow up with possible AMLS, the test itself caused no pain or discomfort, but ever since I ve had pain in my right kidney and pressure in my rectum when getting up or down from a sitting position. Is pressure associated with kidneys or is it possibly because I had to drink so much liquid before hand that is created a sore bladder?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Ultrasound scan is routinely done to assess kidney and bladder problems. The person doing ultrasound might have pressed a bit hard to see your kidneys better. That is a routine practice to eliminate any gas and see the kidneys more clearly. Please do not worry about it and that will disappear fast. The bladder is scanned when full to get proper information. There is no way it can get sore by Chat Doctor.  There can be mild discomfort in some patients, but there is no sore. It returns to normal after passing urine. Hope this helps
