I had lithotripsy for kidney stones in July. As a direct result my kidney hemorrhaged, I was admitted to the hospital on bed rest, md given 2 units of blood. I developed a large hematoma. A few weeks ago I started having left flank pain again. I went to the urologist, had a Cat scan which was negative for stones. Imy urine was positive for E. coli and I was started on Cipro. My PCP felt it might be muscle spasms causing the pain and put me on Metaxalone 800mg. Three times a day. The pain had not abated. What else could be causing this pain? Could there be some complication from the hematoma causing the pain?
