Having Lower Back Pain On Left Side, CT Scan Resulted Kidney Stone, Not Blocking Anything. What Should Be Done?
I started about a month ago having lower back pain on my left side. My doctor advised a cat scan of my pelvic area for possible kidney stone . A kidney stone was discovered but not blocking anything. I was advised no kidney infection with a sample given at the doctors office. My doctor suggestion possible back issues from a 1996 surgery of the L4 and 5 disk. No problems since 96. I started with a chiropractic physician about a month ago. He had a back x-ray taken, told me he could help, after a month I am not so sure. I now have no back pain, but consent pain on my left lower side of my stomach in front with an occasional sharp pain. My body is telling me something is wrong, where do I go from here?

Welcome to Health Care Magic
Symptoms from the stone may vary – depending on the size, movement, infection, obstruction and so on. Urologist is the one to assess and assist
If that is not the reason, Gastroenterologist may have to look at the colon…
Discuss with your doctor - The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
