Suggest Remedy For Pain In Kidney Post Lithotrispy

I have a history of kidney stones. Almost 2 years back, I had the last of 3 lithotrispy to remove stones. Since last 2 days, I am having mild pain on the left side. It s not severe pain that is usually associated with kidney stones, however it s still uncomfortable. Are there other treatment options than lithotrispy?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Since you have had 3 lithotripsy sessions 3 years back, it is important to consider possibility of multiple kidney stones in you. Some of the stones might have been too small on earlier scans and have increased in size during last two years. This can cause acute pain since the last two days. It is possible that the pains vary in intensity and severity depending on location and size. Drinking lots of water an fluids can flush tiny stones out of your system. Getting an ultrasound scan or CT scan KUB region is most important for you right now to know the exact cause of pain and if there is any urinary obstruction in kidneys.
