Pregnant. Have Burning Sensation And Pain In Kidney Area, Have Kidney Stones, UTI. Done US. Is There A Bladder Issue?
I am 31 weeks pregnant & was recently in the er due to extreme kidney pain & burning. They did an ultrasound but didn't see anything but still believed it to be a kidney stone. The pain continued for 5 days with pain killers until finally it seemed to move down my back & forward to abdominal pains followed by uti symptoms & a uti infection. I have been on antibiotics for 9 days and still feel like I have a uti. Is it possible that the stone has not passed & just moved from my kidney to bladder? I don't still have the excruciating pain in my back but cant seem to get over the bladder & abdominal pains.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Stone ( calculus ) anywhere in urinary tract system develops pain in all area belonging to urinary system i.e. back , abdomen, groin above pubis, urethra ( labia in female & testis in male) and burning sensation after urination.
In your case it might happen that stone dislodged from its site and moved downward , so it also causes pain.
Since you are pregnant , hence take pain killer but after consultation with your gynaecologist and urologist.
Get one more ultrasound and find out the exact location of stone.
Urine culture and sensitivity test will provide exact nature of infection , if any.
Good luck.
