What Causes Constant Pain Around The Kidney Area?

I ve had bouts with kidney stones, having to have one removed surgically a month ago. Starting 3/4 days ago that same kidney hurts all the time, as opposed to the sporadic pain I experienced with the previous stone issue. Why am I having constant pain?

Hi,

This maybe is caused by urinary infection including kidneys infection or urinary stones so you should do urine analysis, urine culture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these out which are most common causes.

You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water until you do tests. You should reduce salt in your diet as well, alcohol and carbonated drinks.

In most cases this is self-limiting but sometimes antibiotics are required and more invasive tests such as cystoscopy or pyelography or CT scan. Less common causes include tumors, glomerulonephritis, and metabolic diseases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
