What Is The Treatment For Kidney Stones?
hello, im 22 years old and last year i was dignosed with kidney stones. The CT scan showed a slight fracture in my lumbar of my lower back. I thought nothing of this for awhile, when a couple months back I started waking up with real bad pain in my back every morning and at random times during the day do you think it has gotten worse? and what should I do?

Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
More than the kidney stones,it's your lumbar fracture giving you the pain.
You will need to do a MRI scan of the lumbo-sacral region.
See an orthopedic or a spinal surgeon and he'll decide on treatment.
The stones can be treated later or a stenting can be done simultaneously,with the spinal surgery.
If you've any doubts,you may send a direct question to me.
