welcome to hmc,
You have a usg report suggesting nephrocalcinosis which means that there is deposition of calcium salts in your left kidney. These calcium deposits in general term is known as kidney stone hence you are experiencing the lower back pain. As you have been early diagnosed with kidney stone it is easy to remove it and may even pass in urine all you need is simple therapy of drinking loads of water 2-3L.
Make sure to intake lemon(citric acid breaks down the stone). The stone formation is usually due to metabolic disorder hence I recommend you to get all investagation done.
TAKE CARE
