A member asked:

I have back pain, had ct scan, they sure it was kidney stone but couldn't see it, no pain after but today i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow up: There are often residual changes in the urinary tract soon after a stone passes. However, they should normalize in a few days or weeks. If you still have back pain, that usually means there are other reasons, that you need to discuss with your doctor.
