Apparently I have a small kidney stone. I have severe back pain in my right side and right side flank extending down my right side to my belly button. There is alot of squeezing, rumbling type movements going on the right side of my belly button. Could this be a rumbling appendicitus. I have an extreme headache and feel unwell and in alot of pain. Been sent home from hospital with pain killers. What should I do?
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you.a thorough clinical examination is advised. As you have kidney stones the backache could be due to the kidney stones and also if the stone has moved down it may be leading to pain at the naval. As for kidney stones you need to have good water in a whole day and also barley water. Medication as prescribed by the urologist. Also, performing some core strengthening exercises will help you avoid pain and aches. Also, by undergoing physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for backache should provide relief as well. In my clinical practice most kidney stone cases are referred to physical therapy as by strengthening the muscles of the core the backache can be avoided and the well maintained pressure in the kidneys to flush out the Urine.
