General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
I went through your query and understood your problem.

Your history is suggestive of Renal stones. Did you have any episodes of vomiting? Is your pain is located on the back side of your rib cage? If your answer is yes to these questions, then it is definitely renal stones.

I suggest you to drink plenty of water daily. If the stones are of small size then they will be removed naturally.

If your problem persists, you may need to consult your doctor and get a USG abdomen done.

If you have any other queries, feel free to contact me.

Regard,

Dr. Prathap
