help for my brother
my brother recently had a stabbing pain in the right flank area of his back. the next day he experienced the same pain but on the front opposite side of his body. on the third day he still had the stabbing pain. on the fourth day in the areas of stabbing pain it was numb to the touch. he described the numbness as when your leg goes to sleep. he is a white male, 25yrs of age. he has had previous issues with kidney stones since he was a freshman in highschool. he says this pain is different from the pain he has had experienced from his kidney stones. if you have any ideas as to what this could be i would greatly appreciate it.
Kidney stone pain can vary. Might still be that even if its a different kind of pain. I guess it COULD be his appendix but the right flank? Not exactly the right location for the appendix.
I've heard of liver pain presenting in the upper right part of the back. Does he do a lot of drinking or drugs by any chance?
Either way he definitely needs to get it checked out by a doctor. Might be Xray or MRI time.

He could look up the symptoms of chronic appendicitis, and see if he thinks there is a risk that is what is going on. Or he could go and get checked by a doctor.
