Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to note the location, size and number of stones that you have in your kidneys. It is possible that one or more of the stones might have got stuck in the kidney collecting system or the ureter. Since you have been having these pains including one in the left flank, it is important to get a repeat ultrasound scan done. For the pain you can take an anti-spasmodic medicine and lots of water and fresh fluids. This will help to flush the kidneys and ureters and mobilize any stone that is stuck in your urinary passage and ease your pain. Please avoid intake of too many proteins and that can increase the tendency of stone formation in the kidneys and urinary system. Please do not worry.
