Does anyone know?

Hi, I am a 37  yr old woman in pretty good health.  Just recently I passed a kidney stone (3mm) very small compared to others I've passed, but much more painful.  During the time I was passing the stone (the stone was in the right ureter) I began to experience pain on my back to the left of my spine,  along with abdominal pain and nausea.  After passing the stone I felt instant relief, but a few hours later I began to experience the back pain, abdominal pain and nausea again.  The Dr. ruled out kidney stones.  What could it be? I have constant pain, and the nausea is brought on with even a sip of water.
PS: No chance I'm pregnant, I've had a hysterectomy, but do have my ovaries.

I'm guessing a kidney infection.  It's very common with kidney stones.  Did they test your urine already?  Might wanted to have it checked again.

Hi Fuzzz, thanks for your concern. I had a urine culture and renal & bladder ultrasound both were normal.  My urologist saids that there isnt much else she can do for me and suggested I go to a GI Dr. I have already been to the GI Dr. (prior to my kidney stone attack) and had a upper GI endoscopy (I think thats what its called) and a CT w/contrast, and colonoscopy, all came back normal.  Last week I decided to start taking probiotics and I am feeling better, but I cannot miss taking it a single day because the nausea and pain returns.
