Hi, thanks for writing to XXXXXXX
Low back pain is the commonest presentation of Renal stones. Most of the times patients present to orthopedic surgeons for back pain having renal calculi.
Drinking plenty of water and using antibiotics will not solve the problem completely in all cases.
The size of the renal stones dictates the mode of management.
* If the size of the stone is around 4-6 mm, they can managed conservatively with medicines and alkylating agents to dissolve them and allowing them to pass naturally through the urethra.
* If the size exceeds more than 7mm, it cannot pass down through the ureter and gets obstructed leading to severe pain and other symptoms. In such a case, an intervention is needed to remove them.
Untill the stones are cleared off, your pain is not going to subside completely.
I suggest you to consult a UROLOGIST and follow his advice accordingly.
Hope i have addressed your query. Happy to help for any more clarifications.
Regards
