[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to know the reason for getting the operation done on your right kidney 5 years back. If there was any stone for which you got operated then recurrent stones cannot be ruled out. It is suggested that you get a review ultrasound scan or CT scan done to know if there is any condition affecting your kidneys. A clinical examination becomes important because you have mentioned your participation in lifting weights and this might lead to back muscle spasm which might get painful. Please consult a doctor and then depending on the probable causes get investigated for your pain. You might like to stop doing lifting weights for some time till your pain has reduced. A back muscle spasm might take two weeks to recover. Please do not worry.
