Have Stabbing Pain Near Rib Cage. X-ray Revealed Kidney Stone. What Can Be Done?
I have constant pain sometimes a stabbing pain down my right side and round the front under my rib cage. I had a x-ray and was told I have a kidney stone for the second time. I was then sent for a CT scan and was then told I had no kidney stone, just a cyst on my kidney and there was nothing else they could do for me, but I am still getting the pain. I follow a wheat free and gluten free diet after testing last year.

Hi
Thanks for the query.
You have not mentioned the size of the cyst.
While a kidney stone can cause pain it is more commonly lower down, often in the loin and may shoot downwards.
A renal cyst on the other hand is usually painless unless its a very big cyst.
So you need to see a physician who can examine you and determine the exact cause of the pain.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Hi, many thanks for the query!
A simple cyst needs no surgical intervention but just close observation and
symptomatic treatment.
You need to do- RFT, USG, Urine (R/M).
Symptomatic treatment includes- antispasmodics, pain killers with your doctor's opinion.
Continue your previous treatment & also wheat, gluten free diet.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
