What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen And Back While Treating Kidney Stones?
Earlier this week I had lower back pain. Left flank. No blood in urine. Came on suddenly. Treated for kidney stone. Today, 3 days later, I have same pain on right side/flank. I also feel bloated and just overall uncomfortable in lower abdomen and lower back.

Dear Patient,
I suppose that you are feeling symptoms that may configure a typical colic pain.
I would do a CT scan of the abdomen to clearly identify a stone, if it is still present. US may be aspecific and cannot explore the entire ureter tract. If CT scan is negative, consider to explore lumbar spine with XRay or MRI.
