<s>[INST] I have had a sharp pain in my left side for a month now. I had a ct scan 2 weeks ago. Everything looked good they said. and gave me some pain medication. Morphine. My doctor changed it to Tramadol and I have had two sessions with a massage therapist. i still have this sharp pain.I was sure it is another kidney stone. Same pain as 8 years ago when I passed a stone after a couple of days. what do you think.Dan Kennedy [/INST] HiT hanks for asking. Renal calculi or renal stones are recurrent in nature in a lot of people, they tend to reoccur after a period of time. If you had a history of stone, there is a big possibility of another one. Only way to ascertain the diagnosis is ultrasound of the renal area. I will advise you to consult your doctor to organize a renal scan along with urine examination, as urinary tract infections are very common with the renal stones. Hope it helps. Thanks. </s>
