Hi,
It's better to get an ultrasound KUB for kidney statuses, and any structural changes or any calculus, meanwhile, taking OTC analgesic like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen may be helpful. Renal function tests should also be done. Urinary metanephrine levels and renal Doppler should be done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
