Hi. I've already passed two kidney
stones, and in both those instances I
experienced awful pain. Now, I am
curious as to symptoms of pain if the
stone is still in the kidney. I have
been experiencing lower back pain on the
left side, and a constant dull pain in my
lower abdomen stretching to the groin area
and sometimes affecting my testicles. I,
however have not had the extreme pain that
I had before. I went to the urologist
yesterday and am getting a ct scan on
monday, but I find the time passing so
slow, and have somehow convinced myself I
have cancer or something like that. When
I urinate the dull pain is pronounced but
no worse, almost like a pulled muscle.
Any comments greatly appreciated.

:( mike, my husband has had 30 some odd
kidney stones since he was 18 and he is
now 52. What you are describing sounds
exactly like a kidney stone as he
describes them. Sometime, they hurt
extremely bad and other times there is a
lot of discomfort. I'm no doctor, but
chances are, you have another stone
moving. His doctors have told him that
the pain is not from the stone itself, but
from the back pressure of not being able
to finish urinately.
