Hello Dr. XXXXXXX

I have gone for my blood test and on my 2nd day of a 3-day urine cytosine test. I have yet to go for a CT urogram. My doctor told me if at all, I should have some pain on the left side around the abdomen area or in the back. I have always had lower back pains due to some "defects" in my lumbar spine area. I think I am now noticing some very, very slight pain on my left abdomen area. Is this any cause for alarm?
