Brief Answer:
Supportive care , renal colic.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Feeling of rigors and chills followed by sweating with pain in left leg are likely connected to the kidney stones. With stones, my suspicion is of a renal tract infection that caused this fever and rigors chills like feeling, if you still have it , get evaluated for UTI , if resolved, just wait for 18th of the month and stay hydrated and use pain killers for supportive care till then. Pain in leg is also a radiating pain of those renal stones and supportive care till your surgery date is advised. If the pain in unbearable, you can request your doctor to bring you up in the schedule.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
