Brief Answer:
It looks like Ureteric stone.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Colicky pain in left lower quadrant of the abdomen could be due to Left sided Ureteric stone. As the stone tries to pass into the Urinary bladder,colicky pain arises.
Ultrasound abdomen will give a clue.If kidney is enlarged without visualisation of stone,CT Scan should be done to confirm the size and location of stone.
Continue the medicine that you are using now.
Please consult your doctor, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
