Hi there my gp believes I may have kidney stones and is awaiting a ultra sound to confirm this over the last 4 to five days I have had pain around my belly button and off to the right side of my body and around to the middle of my back am I mistaking this pain for a possible appendicitis or are this more likely the kidney stone thing the pain in my lower front is like the feeling of having a bug and needing to pass a bowel motion.If this is kidney stones I long can I expect this discomfort/pain in my front/side/back to last
Hi, Kidney stone has symptom of pain which may be sharp / dull aching type at lumbar region on same side which may / may not radiate to groin thigh testicle/ labia umbilicus mostly during early morning but may have any time associated with nausea vomiting. Someone there is no pain abdomens.  Pain of appendicitis occurs at rt Iliad fossa or MC Burns point or umbilicus may be gross of dull aching /cramping type mild to severe in intensity associated with nausea vomiting.  Pain abdomen needs to be examined clinically and accordingly investigated including USG, X-Ray and later CT scan of whole abdomen.  So in my opinion wait for USG report and till then take plenty of fluids , analgesic (NSAID), anti-spasmodic, PPI (as your GP must had prescribed). Hope this ll help Thanks n regards
