What Causes Severe Pain In The Left Flank?

My husband woke in the middle of the night with severe pain in his left flank. After 2 days of resting pain is still severe. Went to ER last Tues. Jan 27, they could not find anything. X rays and a cat scan were done. They sent him home with pain pills. Today he is still in severe pain and can hardly stand up. Any ideas?

Hi welcome to HCM.

Pain can be due to renal stones if its in the area of flanks.Hence i advise you to have a CT scan of the abdomen.Drink plenty of water.DRugs like tramdol will help to control in in such cases.

Thank you
