General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

The pain you are describing is suggestive of ureteric stones. Please be advised to follow up with the urgent care to undergo urine analysis, culture and Xray abdomen to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, drink plenty of water and take buscopan 10 mg thrice daily for pain.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarifications
