Experiencing pain in the left flank. Swelling from my lower back to my lower shoulder blade, my left side is double the size of my right. I have bruising on my left rib cage and random bruising on both legs. Extreme discomfort associated with pain when moving around or laying down. No pain while urinating however urine has been clear(j drink maybe 1L of water a day - admittedly not enough to stay hydrated). I have a few auto immune conditions as is and am wondering if these are symptoms of kidney stones or something that needs immediate medical attention?
Dear patient. As you have not mentioned the autoimmune disease you have or the medications you are taking I am afraid I will not be able to narrow down the exact pathology. However, I can safely say that the pain is not due to kidney stones as the pain radiates downwards not upwardsTherefore I suggest you show yourself to your doctor and try and explore a possibility of a vascular pathology will however advise you to get a platelet profile done complete with INR and PT. Again I am sorry I could not be of much help, but I do not have enough information to make a correct diagnosis
