What Causes Severe Pain In The Abdomen And Am Prone To Kidney Stones?

Hi, I have had moderate to severe pain in my lower left side of my abdomen since last night. It is very sore to push (lightly) around that area. I have had a hysterectomy approx. 1 1/2 years ago. I am very prone to kidney stones, but this doesn't feel like a stone...all of my pain has been in the back radiating to the side with a kidney stone....and although this is painful, still not as painful as a kidney stone. It even hurts if I am sitting down and bend to put my socks on, I have a hard time lifting my leg to do so because of the pain in my abdomen. Any suggestions??

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
Severe pain in back radiating anteriorly strongly suggests presence of stone either in kidney or ureter which needs to get investigated .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.

In the mean while take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily with pain killers like Diclophenac .

Further treatment will be decided by him based on clinical findings .result of these test and final diagnosis .
