Pain On Right Side, Chest Pain, Lumps. Had Kidney Stones

I am a male, 31yrs of age, and having pains on my right side starting from the lower back to the front of my right side, but not past the oblique area . I noticed the pain for about two weeks now, and it seemed to have happen around the same time I started having more pains in my chest from the lumps that I have been seen for. Not sure if the pain is coincidence. I have had several kidney stones when I was 18 due to my high calcium diet and hard tap water I used to drink. The pain is not the same. It doesn t not seem to be worse when I touch it, twist, or do any activities.

hello.your pain appears very typical of what is called a renal colic (due to kidney stones)

your chest pain may have a different origin as i dont know what kind of lumps you have been investigated for.

generalised pain and aches ,bony pain along with calculi (stones) may be a part of calcium metabolism disorder as in hyperparathyroidism but you need thorough investigations to come to a diagnosis.

get yourself eveluated for renal stones by a urosurgeon and investigated and if required he might ask for a physician opinion.

otherwise kidney stones is a very common problem to have and recurrence and associated symptoms and signs need. thorough eveluation.

all the best.

Hello

The pain you are describing sounds more like a musculoskeletal pain rather than a pain of the kidney stones. However the description also indicates a plueritic kind of pain (of the lining of the lung). I advice you to follow up with your physician for an x ray to rule out pleural pathology.

I hope I have answered your query

Regards
