Hello
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think, on the basis of the symptoms, there are 2 possible causes-
1. kidney stones
2. lumbar and cervical radiculopathy.
I suggest the following tests-
a. MRI lumbar and cervical spine
b. ultrasound abdomen.
Do let us know the reports.
Based on the reports, further suggestions and treatment options can be discussed.
Meanwhile simple painkillers like ibuprofen with antacids like rantac may be used.
Best of luck, Dr Mittal
