I need something explianed to me. Please.
I've just recently had lithrotripsy done for 8mm left kidney
stone. My symptoms were only groin and right flank pain.
Now after another KUB I was informed that I have stones in the
right. I also was informed that there are mutiple calcified
phleboliths in the pelvis. I have been having moderate leg
cramping and swelling for the past two weeks nothing seems
to help. I still have lower back pain daily am I to assume
there is nothing wrong? My following DX: Lupus, GERD, IBS,
Vasticulitis in legs, Fibromyalgia, Bi-Lateral Mastectomy,
COPD & now kidney stones. I am only 37 years old. I'm
not overweight (5ft. 4in. 114lbs)I'm not sure what direction
to turn in now or will I be "fluffed off" like always with
my PCP until something major happens? Please explain the
above KUB results. I will be looking forward to hearing from
you. Thank you for caring.

Certainly kidney stones can be responsible for your symptoms. The better, and more comprehensive, test would be a CT scan, which can better imaging any stones. This should certainly be considered and discussed.
Regarding the lower back pain - this can lead to leg cramping and pain, if there is compression on the spinal cord. A lumbar MRI scan can evaluate for this possibility.
I would consider a referral to a urologist, and obtaining the CT scan for further evaluation.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
