Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Low right side front abdomen and right lower back pain (kidney?)Age 43 Hawaii Male UsaSo 3 or 4 months ago after a scan someone out in a Urology referral with no other notes other than hidden away positive for nephrolithiasis.Ive had this pain right where my kidney is. It becomes moderately painful after doing moderate work and takes a couple days to settle down.Is this still potentially a stone or would it have passed because of the time frame?. ### Response: Stones that remain in the cavities of the kidney will grow and recede based on things like pH and ion concentration over time. They are relatively normal to find, particularly as we get up there in age. They almost never symptomatic, unless they break off and get lodged in the ureterat which point its very symptomatic. Its hard to say what the sensation that youre having is; sounds like its causing a pretty significant obstruction for you that would be worth seeing your PCP about to get it worked up..
