Brief Answer:
ureteric stone?
Detailed Answer:
Hello, greetings!
I have gone through your array of symptoms. In my experience of clinical practice, such kind of pain is encountered when there is dislodgement of a small kidney stone into the ureter.
If the stone is smaller than 5 mm, then it may pass out of body in the urine with no symptoms at all. If the stone is larger than that, then it may cause flank pain during passage or get obstructed.
You may be experiencing relief due to passage of the stone in urine. However, to make sure there is no impaction or to rule out any other possibility, i suggest you go for an abdomen ultrasound scan and get back with the reports.
Hope i answered all your queries. If you have any more queries kindly contact me or close the query and rate my answer.
