I have sudden onset of severe pain in my left kidney area about 3 hours ago. It waxes and waines, but is very sharp in nature. I have no difficulty, pain, or visible blood in my urine. It is now radiating up to my left shoulder area and around my left side toward my groin area. The radiating pain is dull and achy. I feel better sitting and slightly bent over forward and off to the left a bit. Pretty sure its a stone. Im trying to ride it out. Thoughts? I hurt pretty bad.
Dear Patient, have you ever had stones before ? From your question it appears you are familiar with the pain of kidney stones, anyhow just to quickly answer your question, cranberries juice might help, and of course water is the best thing. For the pain you can take paracetamol it might help tolerate the pain a bit, avoid NSAIDs. If you find this answer helpful please rate as 5 stars. Best regards, Ahmad
