Could this be a kidney stone or is it really "intestinal thickening"?

Kidney and urinary tract
1

I recently woke up last night in so much pain I could barely stand it and I went to the emergency room. They did a urine sample and blood work and that came out ok and at this point they have given me random and I felt no different so they ran a CT scan and he doctor said he found that my small intestine was "thickened" quite a lot and told me it's probably a viral infection. He also told me I have a kidney stone in my right kidney as well (but that side wasn't hurting me) . They ended up giving me morphine and after I felt better they sent me home with anibodics and pain medicine. Do you think that could cause that much pain or do you think I have like a kidney stone they couldn't see? Is that even possible? Does anyone have experience with "thickening" of the small intestine?

Thank you for reading this and taking the time to help me! <3 (-:

No idea if this is a stone they could not see I'm afraid.

I think what you need to do is to get someone to refer you to a Urologist.

They are the kidney specialists.

I have a large kidney stone and have an appointment with a Urologist in Cheltenham next week.

Hopefully they will have a plan for dealing with it.

Take care and keep in touch.

Hi, I had a large kidney stone remover in last August, with PCNL. My "story" started about 4 years ago with a very painful stomach lots of times at night...... They found aut my IBS, which is fine now. Maybe the IBS cause the big pains. Later they found a large 2 cm sone in my right kidney. Which can cause the pain as well. I hope my story helping you. All the best for you!
