Reason for severe pain in the kidney area?
Patient: I HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERE PAIN IN THE AREA OF LEFT KIDNEY. I HAD A CT SCAN AND THEY SAID LEFT KIDNEY WAS ENLARGED. HOWEVER A MRI AND RENAL SCAN HAVE TURNED UP NOTHING BUT I STILL HAVE THE PAIN AND NAUSEA. I HAD KIDNEY STONES AT ONE TIME BUT NONE CAN BE SEEN NOW. ANY IDEAS Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM.As an Urologist, let me assure you, that left kidney pain can be easily diagnosed,  after doing the tests as mentioned by you.If you can send a copy of the CT and MRI scans , i can give an expert opinion about cause of the pain.
