Hello and welcome to HCM.
If you've recurrent left sided flank pain,you can do a plain CT-KUB.It will reveal , if you've a stone below the level of kidney, which can't be seen on an ultrasound abdomen.A 4mm stone usually flushes out, by drinking 3 liters of liquids daily.You can take a Magnesium Potassium Citrate tablet or syrup twice daily, which your doctor will prescribe. It helps to reduce the size of the stone.
