What Causes Pain In Area Where Stone Was Removed?

I had a kidney stone removed surgically in Oct.2011. I had the stone for several months.The doctor told me I am stone free in December. About a week ago I began to experience some pain again especially after physical activity. Could this be residual pain or a new stone?

Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the fact that you have undergone surgery for removal of Kidney stone in 12011 and again have a pain on the same side .

Please note that it has been proved by various studies and research that the person who had urinary stone once is more prone to get recurrence of stone 50% more than normal individuals .

Since your Dr has declared you to be stone free there ise no possibility of residual stone

I would suggest you to consult Urologist and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis
1) Urine routine and urine culture
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen
30 Renal function tests
4) Serum calcium and Phosphorus

Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis as regards site .size and status of renal function .
