[|Human|] Hi I am having very uncomfortable feeling on my right flank region, can you suggest any simple test that I can do to rule out kidney stones or infections? You are charging too much, I thought you are doing a free service. Are you doctors with service mind or only interested in making money?
[|AI|]  Dear friend the flank pain which radiates from back to pelvic area or urethra and sometime may cause burning/difficult urination is suggestive of kidney stone. You can perform simple test that is urine[routine & micro] at pathology lab nearer to you. In urine RBC will be increased and if infection in urine it will also show pus cell in urine examination. Likewise kidney stone and infection can be diagnosed. X-ray can also fine stone in kidney/ureter, but sometimes it can be missed in x-ray. So you can do sonography of abdomen.it is costly, but it is better to diagnose than other test. You can do sonography in trust hospitals in your city which charges less than private. Hope this answer will be helpful to you. For more queries please don't hesitate to ask. Get well soon
