Brief Answer:
Answer given below

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.
Amylase is raised only less than 2 times the upper limit of normal.
ALT, Cholesterol and GGT are only mildly raised.

The flank pain could be muscular. Tylenol may provide relief.
Since you have history of passing kidney stones, an ultrasound scan may be done as kidney stones too can cause flank pain.

I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
