Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent pain in flank . Well sharp stabbing pain suggests that there is some kind of obstruction in the ureters . While kidney stones are the most common cause of the obstructions, blood clots in the ureters can cause similar pain. It can also occur due to nerve problem. In some instances, this pain radiates to the scrotal skin or the labia . I would suggest you to consult urologist . Doctor may order tests such as ultrasound, abdominal CT scan, cytoscopy or intravenous pyelography. Doctor may prescribe analgesic , antibiotics or recommend surgery . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and apply warm compresses .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
