Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can go for a NCCT-KUB (non contrast CT) to check whether there is a stone or not. X-ray and ultrasound can not detect very small stones. Pulled muscle is unlikely and it won’t cause severe pain. As of now you can take drugs like Cyclopam for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
