You have kidney calculosis, but the stones are very small. So my opinion is that you have to check them regularly (for example every 6 months). If you experience sharp pain on your left flank, it means that one of them has moved and has blocked your left kidney and it can be that your unic kidney could be out of function, so than you have to take the matters seriously, and to do an invasive procedure like Lithotrypsi or a Ureteroscopy in order to try to remove the stone and protect the kidney.
