Is Milk Of Magnesia Recommended In Case Of Kidney Stones And Gallbladder Inflammation?

My abdomen hurts, but not when sitting still hunched over a bit. If I move or stand straight up it is very painful and the worst is if I push on my stomach. It is under my ribs left and right of my navel but lessons as I move down so I don't think it is associated with my ovaries. I have had kidney stones in the past & a doctor told me recently that my gall bladder seemed inflamed (that is painful too) but because the pain is on my left and right I thought I could rule that out. The pain has lasted about a week so I used Milk of Magnesia hoping a bowel movement would help and then I tired gas-x for a couple days to see if that was all it was. Any thoughts?

Hello
Thanks for query,
Pain in both loins is most likely to be due to stones in kidney or ureter.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Routine Urine test and Urine culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.

In the mean while take broad spectrum antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and antispasmodics like Cyclopam and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate
antibiotics as per culture report.

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis.
