A member asked:
I was diagnose with a kidney stone on my left side over a year ago i never passed it i've been having frequent pain in that area what should i do?

If the kidney stone: is well within the substance of the kidney it is unlikely you will pass it and if it is small it shouldn't be causing the symptoms you describe. A repeat CT without contrast should settle the issue.
