Abdominal Pain And Cramps Since Ten Days, Constipation. Taking Narcotic Pain Relievers. CT Scan For Kidney Shows Stones.

i went to the er last night for abdominal pain X 10 days. ive had constipation in recent weeks due to a prescription for narcotic pain relievers. I had a moderate cramp in left stomach to abdomen area 10 days ago. ive had bowl movements since,but there has been a mild dull aching pain in that same area of the cramping. I had blood work done and a ct scan with contrast dye. the ct scan showed 2 kidney stones on the opposite side of my abdomen which hasn't been hurting. no hernias,no nasual feelings,no fever

For constipation,you should take plenty of fluids and fibrous diet.
You should also do physical exercises.
You shouldn't use narcotic pain killers for long.
You need treatment for kidney stones.You didn't mentioned size of calculus.It may cause pain,obstruction,infection etc.So,get rid of it.
Get well soon.
