Suggest Treatment For Sharp Lower Abdominal Pain And Lower Back Pain

I m a pilot on a layover and have developed a problem for which I will most definitely see my doctor on Tuesday but I m thinking Kidney Stone and am just wondering what a professional would guess given simple patient information so here are my statistics and symptoms: Male age 49 150 lbs 5 8 healthy runner low to normal blood pressure no allergies or known medical issues Symptoms: sensitive skin in the lower right abdomen and also lower right back and occasional sharp pain in the lower right abdomen also pain in same area when jostled as in when riding on a rough road Normal urine no nausea or vomiting. Both parents have had kidney stones. Heavy drinker but healthy eater. 500 ml red wine per day. Previous bloodwork indicated high levels of sodium but otherwise normal hematocrit results. Is kidney stone likely the cause of the pain?

Dear Sir,thank you for your consultation.I have gone through your history very carefully.it is good to know that you have no blood pressure problem and urinary problem.I am telling you parents having stone never have any effect on their childre because it is not a familial problem.but certainly the location of pain and the typical feature points finger to some kidney stone,but never confirms it.for confirmation you should go for lower abdomen X-Ray and ultrasonogram.this will clinch the diagnosis if there is any stone at all in your kidney or any place of your urinary system like bladder.so to know for sure you have to undergo these investigations.my best wishes to you.thank you.
