Is Radiating Pain From Back To Hip Sign Of Kidney Stones?

I was having pain in my lower back on the left side and it would radiate down to my left hip joint and into my land after left testicle. I woke up one morning with no pain, and went through the day without any pain. I was feeling great and eating ruby red grapefruit slices durning the day. Later that night I had to have a bowel movement after I finished when I stood up all of the pain was back. I went to a clinic and was told it was a kidney stone even though the urninalsis came back normal. I was put on cipro, anti-inflam, and given a pain med. I don't understand the connection between the two. The Cipro removed the pain about two hours after taking the first tablet
