Since they found that out they have just not done anything more for me and I m in agony the doctor gave me painkillers and I m taking over 4,000 mg a day witch can t be healthy anyway can you help?
hello dear
severe lower abdominal pain may be due to appendicitis or lower ureteric stones. hence you need ulterasound abdomen to rule out these two common diseases. once it is confirmed that there are stones in the ureter of sze less than 9mm ,usually do not require any special treatment except pain killer and taking lots of fluids. stones more than 9mm requires intervention. so better not to take pain killer for prolonged period.
take care
