Kidney Stones
A stone in the left kidney that migrates may cause sharp, cramping pain in the left-back and side. As the stone travels, the pain migrates to the left abdomen and groin. Other symptoms may include burning with urination, blood in the urine, nausea and vomiting.
Kidney stones sometimes pass by themselves. Shock wave lithotripsy may be used to break stones into smaller pieces, so they pass out of the body more easily. Alternatively, a doctor may remove the stones surgically.10‘Kidney Stones.’ Kidney Stones: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment - Urology Care Foundation, www.urologyhealth.org/urology-a-z/k/kidney-stones.
