Treatment For Hydronephrosis And Lumbar Pain?
I have had and still have persistent pain in lumbar right side. Pain now under control with morphine. Ultrasound tells that my CBD is generous(AP= 11.6mm) and contains small amounts of debris. Minimal hydronephrosis seen in the right kidney. Left normal. I have had my gall bladder removed a few years ago and three large stones removed.

Hi
It is difficult to be sure at this stage whether the pain is from your kidneys or from the debris in CBD.
I would advice a CT scan of your kidneys without and with contrast to find the cause for hydronelhrosis- sometimes it can be a normal finding on ultrasound. Regarding the dilated CBD- It can be normal after gall bladder removal but since there are debris, i would advice to see a general surgeon or a hepatobiliary surgeon.
