Question : I had a kidney stone which past into my bladder. CT confirmed it. Prior to passing it I had dull pain in my lower left flank, Left kidney area. Now I am in Northern Canada, with the same symptoms . Do kidney stones tend to reoccur time after time?

Hi and welcome.
Yes,it is common for kidney stones to recur and if you have similar symptoms then you should follow same protocols again. You need to drink plenty of fluids,raspberry tea and avoid calcium rich food. You should do at least ultrasound if pain become worse. Wish you good health. Regards
