Brief Answer:
Get a urinalysis and a ct scan.

Detailed Answer:
Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

It has been 2 months and you are still feeling pain in your flank and back. To be sure we are not missing out on anything I would recommend doing a plain ct scan to determine if there is still stone or
instruction in your kidney. A urinalysis is also needed to determine / rule out infection. That is the best way to see if you have a problem.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes
