I felt fine this morning. Then I started feeling pain in my lower right back. Saw the ER nurse and doctor. Both think it's KS. The pain was honestly insane. Im on advil and Tylenol and it's better but not gone. Side note, I started a new blood pressure med Ramipril about 10 days ago.

So far the doc did an ultrasound, lung x-ray and bloodwork. They said I might get a ct scan.

Other than that, what do you guys think i can expect?

If ks, there’d be blood in the urine. Heavy pain meds (morphine type) and IV hydration are standard. Most of the time, ks will shift and the pain eases. But these need to be removed either by lithotripsy or intrauteral.

Doc say seeing blood in the urine isn’t a 100% sure thing when you’re dealing with KS

Do you have any blood in your urine?
