Could Residual Pain Persist After Passing Kidney Stone?

Patient's Query

I'm Phil. It's been 12 days since I passed my 4mm kidney stone, and the pain has not gone away. I've had abdominal pain for the last month, sometimes around the bladder, right kidney, left kidney, and recently higher in the chest (on a pain scale of 2/10 to 6/10). It's always been on/off at random times throughout the day, but in the past week it's getting worse/more noticeable/more frequent. I think it temporarily goes away after I eat. I took a new CT urogram and my urologist says nothing is wrong with anything in my urinary tract. No more stones, no infection in my urine test, no swelling anywhere. I just started the antibiotic Bactrim, and extra strength Tylenol just kinda works. Ever since I got diagnosed with a kidney stone, I've been drinking tons of water, maybe 3L/day, and my diet is now low sugar/low salt/low oxalates/low caffeine, and I've lost like 5 lbs. My doctor and reddit threads say it's residual pain, but it should've left after 1-2 days. What could be causing this pain?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It sounds like you're experiencing persistent discomfort after passing your kidney stone. This residual pain can sometimes linger as underlying muscle spasms or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your recent CT scan and urine tests came back normal, it’s not likely an infection or stones. The changes in your diet and hydration are excellent steps. Continue monitoring your symptoms, and consider discussing your pain management options with the nephrologist. If the discomfort worsens or other symptoms develop, don’t hesitate to seek medical advice.

Male | 65

Herbal Home Treatment for Kidney Stones and Fatty Liver One of the most surprising health benefits attributed to turmeric is the treatment of kidney stones and fatty liver. Turmeric has a compound curcumin which may assist in the disbanding of kidney stones and also reduce inflammation in the liver. However, always, it is your doctor who decides whether you can start a new treatment or not. Also, don't forget to drink more water so the stones will be easily removed.

Female | 55

This condition can come from many issues, among them kidney function problems, dehydration, or high diets. Symptoms may be such as having tiredness, nausea, or changes in urination. For the treatment of this condition, it is essential to make a regular water intake, proper diet management, and regular health checkups. I advise that this can be done through making an appointment at your healthcare provider.

Female | 42

Creatine is produced by the body and generally excreted by the kidneys. A creatinine level over 2.5 can indicate kidney dysfunction. Symptoms may include fatigue or swelling. Conditions such as hypertension or diabetes can lead to this problem. To support your kidneys, ensure sufficient hydration, consume nutritious meals, and adhere to medical advice.

Kindney stone 3.6 mm Please tell me about description

Male | 30

A stone of 3.6 mm in size is akin to having a mini boulder in the kidney. Sometimes, they can even make you feel pain in the areas of your belly, side, or back. The rock-like substances can be caused by dehydration and certain foods. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the process of passing the stone. If it's too large, a doctor may help crush it into smaller pieces or take it out.
