Pain In Lower Right Back. On Antibiotics. Feel Numbness. Allergic Reaction?
I am experiencing pain in my lower right back and am almost certain I am passing a kidney stone. This is the 3rd time in my life I've experienced this. I went to the doctor today and he started me on antibiotics to rule out infection. Now I am experiencing numbness on my right side. I've never,ever felt numbness the previous times I've passed a stone. The numbness I feel now reaches almost to my hip and halfway up my rib cage. Is this common? He put me on a Sulfa antibiotic. Could it be an allergic reaction? I hope I pass this stone soon!

Hello!
Numbness can be a part of your disease symptom. It could probably not be a drug reaction, although sulfa drug are notorious for causing reaction but in a form of rash.The renal stones that you have got, might be causing you this problem. I think your doctor is on the right track. continue same treatment and hopefully you will pass this stone.
