Brief Answer:
could be ureteric stone then

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr. XXXXXXX

In that case, your pain could be due to a left ureteric stone, and for confirmation you need to get an ultrasound of your abdomen to look for it.

Further management will depend upon the exact location, size and number of the stones, if present.

Till that time you may take any painkiller if the pain gets severe.

Hope i have been helpful.

Dr. Ashish Verma
