Hi
I understand our concern. The pain that you are experiencuing may be related to the hydronephrosis. It will need further evaluation including urine routine test, blood test for creatinine and a pre and post contrast CT KUB. The two common possibilities are stone blocking the left kidney or a condition called PUJ obstruction.
