Suggest Treatment For Kidney Stone And Groin Pain

I have recently had kidney stones. Now I am having flank pain and pain in my groin area. I am also having pain in my chest. I m not sure what is going on. I have been on antibiotics for kidney infection with no relief. I had a 24 urine collection and still awaiting results and have aurogramscheduled in a few days. The pain is becoming more consistent especially with any activity. What is going on?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It will help to know the status of the kidney stone which you have. A stone in a strategic location might cause a lot of pain and discomfort until it is treated.

Having a kidney infection due to a stone requires complete treatment and follow up. If the antibiotics do not give you relief then please get your urine culture and sensitivity test done to know if there is resistant infection which requires change of antibiotics. For the pain you might ask your doctor to prescribe alpha blockers or anti spasmodics and this will control the spasm causing pain. Please continue drinking adequate water and visit washrooms regularly. The pain might be more consistent because of the movement of the stone along the urinary tract. This requires review ultrasound or CT scan to know the location of the stone. Please do not worry.
