I have a history of kidney stones. Right now I have a 4 mm stone in my right jidney that showed on a CT scan. This stones hurts but my doctor doesnt believe that. I am alao having sharp pains in my right lower stomach, back and groin. The dictor said CT scan shows no stone here. Am I crazy??
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A kidney stone measuring 4 mm can hurt and cause pain. If such a stone is seen on CT scan which is causing obstruction, and you are feeling pain around the location then a pain due to the stone cannot be ruled out. The CT scan images are to be seen to discuss in detail. Rarely, such a pain can also be caused by another problem in the same area. The presence of the stone causing any obstruction is the most definite sign of pain due to the kidney stone. It is also possible that rarely stones less than 2 mm can be missed on CT scan and such a stone or any other recently passed out stone before taking CT stone can cause such a pain. Please discuss this matter in detail and continue to Chat Doctor.
