I keep on having severe left side pain, which radiates to my pubic area. The ultrasound was negative. Is there another test for kidney stones?
US is a bullshit test and is operator dependent. In most cases it is excessively ordered with no conclusive diagnosis. The ideal test for kidney stone today is a non-contrast CT scan. Takes a few minutes and is very sensitive. If you feel that you have a stone, get a Ct scan. IVP used to be done in the past, but now has been replaced by the CT scan.
