at first I wasn't too concerned about just the pain ive been having on the left because I have had kidney stones several times in my life. The pain is on my side I quess you could say as low as the waist area but more toward the side and and sorter toward my back. I use icy hot and that does help with the pain. What has me worried because with kidney stones I never did this or didn't notice, but for almost two weeks now when I urinate it has a brownish look to it and its usually a light yellow or very clean looking. it doesn't look like bloody urine. Its a brownish, like a dirty water look kinda. I guess that's the best way of describing it. I don't know if one has to do with the other but I have also notice that sometimes when I move a certain way or sit down I find myself saying oh, my back hurts. It not unbearable just unconfortable and like I said I didn't think much first couple of times but its every time I go to use the bathroom. It doesn't hurt to urinate at all. I just feel a uncomfortable feeling on my left side a little above my waist area toward the back just a little. I know it has something to do with my kidneys and im getting a little worried. Can you help with what I explained to you. I hope I made since explaining it to you
Hello Thanks for query. You are known to get urinary stones repeatedly and now has pain in left loin and back with brownish urine .
The brownish urine is to due to blood getting mixed with acidic urine.
Looking at the symptoms that you have it is sure that you have stone either in ureter or left kidney and needs to get investigated further .
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis. 1) Urine routine and culture. 2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis .
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis as regards size and site of the stone and degree of obstruction (Hydronephrosis)it is causing to urine flow from kidney into bladder .
