What Causes Dull Pain On Right Upper Part Of Buttocks Radiating To Back?
Question: I have a dull ache on the right upper part of buttocks, it travels through the right lower side of the back to the right lower abdomen to the right scrotum, some time stinging on the right buttocks, and right back. Now very rarely on the left side too. Light pricking pain some times in the thigh too.
Brief Answer:
To consider possibility of Ureteric Colic

Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Going by description of the symptoms the possible explaination of your symptoms is Ureteric Colic. Radiation of pain in lower abdomen and scrotum points towards the possibility. When Kidney stone gets passed through the Ureter it typically produces such kind of pain.
In the absence of any obvious history of constipation , it is unlikely to be the cause. CT scan especially Plain CT scan(done without use of Intravenous contrast) could miss out small Ureteric stone.
Other possibility that needs to be considered based on location of pain in thighs is Prolapsed intervertebral disc causing nerve root compression. It is less likely to be the cause.
I would suggest you the following
1. Thorough clinical examination from Physician
2. Repeat Ultrasound based on clinical findings
Do keep me updated about progress.
Wishing you great health.

My issue started around 8 months back, my ultrasound taken at XXXXXXX XXXXXXX showed kidney stone. Since then I am taking an average of 3L. of water every day.the pain that get is on the upper right pelvic region., and lower back and lower abdomen and in the scrotum.the CT scan taken with and without contrast, by giving me intravenous injection.
If any problem in my abdominal or pelvic organs, would it have been shown in the CT scan. Now I have scheduled an appointment with a physician on the 2nd of December.
Pls respond me.
Thanks,

Brief Answer:
CT scan usually picks up pathology
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Plain and contrast CT would have definitely pipicked up any abdominal and pelvic pathology. Small ureteric calculi may occasionally be missed unless there is gross obstruction to flow of Urine
It's good that you have scheduled an appointment. I would suggest you the following in the meantime
1. Ensure good intake of water
2. Analgesic and antispasmodic will be helpful in relieving pain
Wishing you great Health
