Right side severe flank pain
I am 41 yrs of age weighing 72 kgs, 5.10ht working in IT industry, Non diabetic , and no blood pressure problem, I have a severe right side flank pain which is unbearable and it travels right down the buttocks where the sciatic issue starts, Pls rule out the option of kidney stone as it is not kidney stone I am sure about it, I have visited a MD Dr who around 4 months back told me to do a complete blood test which was normal, a spine x-ray , which was normal, and was considering a muscle or a physical issue, I was given medicines by him which worked out, but all of a sudden the pain is back and very severe and gives me sleepless nights I just do the heat compression to relieve it , the pain is so bad that I cannot turn on the other side while sleeping. Am I supposed to do a sonography? Please advice Thank you.

Hello sir, First things first, as according to the information provided by you, your BMI suggests that you are overweight. You need to focus on that. And as far as your pain is concerned, more details are needed. Like, is there any history of lifting some heavy weight or is there any difference in the length of your legs (one leg is shorter than the other) etc. However, considering it's because of the muscle spasm, you can continue with the heat treatment. It's always advisable. And You can have this Ayurvedic Medicine, - योगराज गुग्गुळ - 2 tablets twice a day. This is 100% herbal calssic ayurvedic medicine with NO side effects. Which has got analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, muscle relaxant properties and it's an excellent fat burner as well. Get well soon...!
Next Steps
though you're confident enough but still proper diagnosis is always helpful, especially for distant consultations.
Health Tips
- Practice some stretching exercises. - Avoid anything which is sour or fermented.
