You have been evaluated in the Emergency Department today for your flank pain. Your pain is most likely due to a kidney stone which will pass on its own.

We recommend you take 600mg ibuprofen every 6 hours or tylenol 650mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. If needed, you can alternate these medications so that you take one medication every 3 hours. For instance, at noon take ibuprofen, then at 3pm take tylenol, then at 6pm take ibuprofen.

Please follow up with your primary care physician within two days.

Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening pain, fever, painful urination, blood in urine, weakness, chest pain, difficulty breathing or any other concerning symptoms.

Thank you for choosing us for your care.
