Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I had gone through your medical presentation and understood your anxiety. Formation of calcium spots in kidney is most common among all other minerals. Calcium when increased in blood due to other reasons lead to deposition of calcium in kidney tissue. These deposits may accumulate to form renal stones (nephrocalcinosis). Coming to your case, some sharp edged calcium deposits may roll down and injure the soft tissue inside ureter. This causes pain due to inflammation of ureter. Treatment is mostly conservative.

1. Generally it will get subsided with in 2 months by itself.
2. plenty of water.
3. Steroid injection can be given.
4. surgical removal of calcium deposits when they are stuck to the borders of ureter.

There is no need to worry, but it is better to act soon as per the above guidelines.

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