A member asked:
I have somewhat sharp pains in my lower abdomen that extends to the left side of my back, closer to my kidney. what could it be?

Possible ureteral stone: The most likely urologic consideration with patients that have these symptoms at your age would be a stone in the ureter. These can be very uncomfortable and are often best evaluated in an urgent care or emergency room setting where appropriate x-ray tests and urine specimens can be obtained. If the pain is not severe i would see your primary care physician within the next few days.
