Hi, I have had moderate to severe pain in my lower left side of my abdomen since last night.  It is very sore to push (lightly) around that area.  I have had a hysterectomy approx. 1 1/2 years ago. I am very prone to kidney stones, but this doesnt feel like a stone...all of my pain has been in the back radiating to the side with a kidney stone....and although this is painful, still not as painful as a kidney stone.  It even hurts if I am sitting down and bend to put my socks on, I have a hard time lifting my leg to do so because of the pain in my abdomen.  Any suggestions??
HelloThanks for query. Severe pain in back radiating anteriorly strongly suggests presence of stone either in kidney or ureter which needs to get investigated. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.In the meanwhile take broad spectrum antibiotics like Definite along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily with painkillers like Diclofenac. Further treatment will be decided by him based on clinical findings.result of these test and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor.
