Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Radiating pain from kidneys to thigh along with nausea indicates a spasmodic pain.
2. Most possibly it could be a renal stone in the ureter, which is causing it.
3. Mild blood in urine maybe noticed. Urine examination is necessary.
4. "Dicyclomine" medication will be helpful in reducing spasmodic pain. Any anti-spasmodic will be effective. Take plenty of fluids during day time. Night time, take as necessary, to avoid disturbance in sleep.
5. Ultrasound of abdomen is necessary for confirmation of stone. In the meanwhile, you can take anti-spasmodic medications like spasmoproxyvon, after food. It will relieve pain.
6. For constipation, you need to take diet rich in soluble fiber from fruits and vegetables. Also good hydration and regular sleep is essential. The spasmodic pain from kidney could also be affecting it. It will improve along with anti-spasmodic medication.
