Hi, I have had Kidney Stones problem about 6 months back, I was given medication and the pain reduced & was discharged. The doctor advised me Lasilactone and Urimax .4 to continue for a while and asked me to take lots of fluids. I have done the medication. From yesterday I am having a mild pain in lower left back and I am not able to understand if it is a sprain or due to stones. Could you please help me how to distinguish
HiT hanks for the query. Pain due to kidney stones is usually colicky (i.e. severe pain in episodic bursts). It is present in the loin and may shoot down into the groin. It may be associated with blood in urine. On the other hand pain due to muscle sprain is constant, and worsens on movement. It is difficult to ascertain the cause accurately without physical examination. So I suggest that you see your doctor if the discomfort persists. Hope this helps Good luck
