Brief Answer:
Could be related to stone.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The pain could be related to stone and the swelling. Has your doctor prescribed pain medications. If yes, continue it.

Drink plenty of water. It will help flush the stones out.

I would repeat the scan after a few weeks once the painful symptoms subsides.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
