Experiencing Left Sided Flank Pain, All Tests Normal. Still Pain Persists. What Next ?
I have been experiencing left sided flank pain for a week now. Went to my pcp, who had me go for an ultrasound and ct scan without contrast, to rule out a kidney stone. The test results came back with no significant findings. Also, have blood test, and a Urin analysis, which came back normal. I am still in pain. The pain is sometime sharp, but mostly dull pain and some nausea. No fever, vomiting, or change in bowel movements. What should i do next?

Hi ! Sometimes an infection with intestinal amoeba gives rise to such symptoms and it is seen that a course of metronidazole gives symptomatic relief in some cases. Onece both the ultrasound and CT scan are normal, then we can safely wait and watch with intermittent check up by your family physician. Wishing you an early recovery.
