What Could Swelling, Tender To Touch Feeling On Left Stomach Radiating To Hip And Back With History Of Having Kidney Stones Be?
Earlier on this afternoon I started to develop an uncomfortable feeling on the left hand side of my stomach going into my hip and the left hand side of my back. It s not painful just very uncomfortable and aggravating. It only hurts when I am lowering or elevating myself out of or into a chair. The area is quite swollen and very tender to touch. I am aware I have kidney stones but when one passed last time it was incredibly painful gradually getting worse over the first hour. I haven t had anything like that pain this time and the pain hasn t travelled to my groin.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
With the history of stones- I would think of the stone impacted into the joining of the kidney to the ureter causing swelling of the kidney due to back-pressure. This is called hydronephrosis and explains all your symptoms.
A simple ultrasonography will confirm this.
