Is Left-sided Back Pain A Sign Of Kidney Stones?
Question: Think I may have a kidney stone had one before pain in left side back
Brief Answer:
Drink much water and take pain drugs!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain. This pain may be related to kidney stones as you have had one before or some other things. For now, I will recommend that you take pain medications like Ibuprofen and Tylenol as recommended by your pharmacist. Also, drink much water to help flush the stone out. Should these measures not offer enough relief, please seek consultation for testing and treatment.
Did the doctors ever get a reason why you had the stone in the first place? This needs to be known so that specific measures would be undertaken to address this and prevent further stones from forming.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
