Right side Lower abdomen and back pain
I have lower right side abdomen and back pain as waves now and then for past one week. Initially the doctor thought it as infection and given oflax 200 metrogel 400 and drotin M. I have taken for three days. But there is no change in pain. So I have taken USG and CUE. Scan shows 5mm kidney stone in right kidney and 7mm gallstones. I have showed the reports to a urologist but he said that this is common and does not relate with my pain and given just meftal spas pain killer. Please suggest the cause of my pain

There are two reasons that can cause a right sided abdominal pain for you, one being the gallstone, the other being the stone in the kidney. the stone in the kidney has not caused any dilatation in the kidney so it is unlikely to cause significant pain. Your presentation sounds more like a stone in the ureter causing the colicky pain which can be missed on an ultrasound.
Next Steps
go for a ct urography if the pain persists after ensuring a normal kidney function test.
