Suggest Remedies For A Chronic Pain In Lower Back After A Kidney Operation

My husband is 54 years old and had surgery in January of this year for a kidney stone in his right kidney. Since having the surgery he has had chronic pain in the middle to side (internally) in the back area of the right side of his body. He has seen his urologist who did x-rays and found nothing. His primary care sent him to an orthopedic doctor who has had him have a ct scan and an mri. Monday he had same day procedure were they injected two shots in his back. About three weeks ago his right foot began swelling and has been that way some days extreme some not but swollen. Painful. Yesterday he had blood work and a urine sample to look for goat. Where do we go from here?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
After the tests you've mentioned, so far, nothing significant has been found.
Most likely, it's only a muscular pain. He should carry out daily exercises.
Even getting specialist physiotherapy treatment, relieves the pain quickly.
The stone treatment usually doesn't have pain for so long. So don't worry about that. Also, uric acid would've been tested at that time.
You can get my expert opinion,by sending your doubt as a direct question.
