A member asked:

My boyfriend has kidney stone but went to the hospital and was told he doesn't have anything but the pain is unbearable what could it be there say it muscle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flank pain: Assuming he had a CT scan to rule out a stone, the pain could be muscular or due to other pathology. If his pain is intense he should go back to the ER for re-evaluation.
