Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Renal colic is usually an intermittent severe constricting and radiating pain in the flanks. It doesn't usually present with numbness in the limbs. However, compression of the nerve roots in the spinal cord can produce these symptoms. Hence I would suggest to get a consult with an orthopedician and go ahead with a MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
