Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
II I don t understand why I have severe right flank pain. I ve had it for some time but just gets worse. Had kidney infection and finished the antibiotics. But the pain is unbearable. Had a ct. scan said I had a small kidney stone on left side so what could be causing the right side pain? I worry about cancer.
I have studied your case and I can assure you that you do not have cancer. Kidney stone can cause such pain. I would sagest you to get a IVP test to confirm the diagnosis. If there is stone than you should drink plenty of water and juices. This will bring stone through urine. If your stone is bigger like more than 7 mm than you might need a surgery to tackle it. Also I would recommend you to get your blood investigations like ESR and CRP along with PBF. This will confirm if there is any blood infections. thanks.
