Kidney Stone or Else
Hello,
I am suffering from 6.3 mm right lower ureteric calculus.I am experiencing pain in my right lower abdomen.Sometimes the pain radiates to my back and the leg.
Now, I searched google and found that the lower abdomen pain can be due to appendicitis and it can burst to cause serious complications.
How can I know if pain is only due to a kidney stone not from appendicitis?
I have done whole abdomen ultrasound 20 days back and found "Right lower ureteric calculus posterior to the bladder ."
I never experienced any severe pain till now.How can I confirm that if the appendix is not burst till now?

Hi.... Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.
Some stones that form and stick in the kidney do not cause symptoms or any harm. They can just be left if they are small.
