Pain In Lower Back And Left Abdomen. History Of Kidney Stones And Ovarian Cysts, Had Hysterectomy. Any Ideas?

I started having sudden low back pain and left flank/abdomen. I took a few ibuprophen but still cannot stand up straight without extreme pain. My inner thighs feel strange also. I have a history of kidney stones and ovarian cyst. It doesnt feel like either but i haven't had either one since my hysterectomy (only uterous removed) in november of last year. Not sure what to do, i debating on the ER.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
With a previous history of renal stones & ovarian cyst , I think your sudden onset of low back pain could be attributed to either of them.
* An impacted ureteric calculi can produce similar symptoms
* A twisted ovarian cyst also presents with similar symptoms

So, I suggest you to approach a Urologist and Gynecologist to rule out both causes. Hope this helps
