For the last month, I have had exactly what you are talking about. Wednesday July 23 was first trip to er had a arrogant doctor who said it was tendoniditis in the hip and sent me home the an anti inflammatory The pain is like no other pain i have ever experienced. went to my family physician on the Friday, was sent to er for a renal ct scan. It showed one +4mm kidney stones in my kidney. All my bloodwork and urine were fine. Was put on Flomax and told to screen my urine. All through the next two weeks i had constant pain in my left groin area but also had bursts of travelling pain from my kidney to my groin. Passed two smaller stones and several fragments. pain was increasing in my groin and started having nausea. Seen doctor on August 5, he was surprised to see my collection of stones and fragments and sent them off for analysis. The +4mm stone is stuck at the entry to my bladder. He put me on torodol 3 times a day, 1000 mg tylenol as needed for pain, flomax, and an anti nausea medication. I have been referred to an urologist to have the +4mm stone crushed. he also did repeat bloodwork and urine, it all is still coming back normal.
My advice to you Ncypantz is to be your own adovocate and trust your instincts, only you know your body. We do not all present symptoms in the same way. Go buy yourself a pea strainer and collect any fragments you collect in a container and take that to doctor. Good Luck, feel your pain
I have had numerous kidney stones over the past, almost, 35 years now and never has any of my pain acted like the pain you are describing. My kidney stone pain has always been from the same place, depernding on whether it was a stone in my right or left kidney, but never has the pain "floated" around as yours is doing. It's always been very sharp pain and from the same spot, on either side, for me over the years. Listen to your Dr. and go from there. It appears as though you may have another origin for the pain you are having or something in addition to it being kidney stones..
