  5. I had pain in my left abdomen about two weeks ago, and the sonography showed a small prominence in my left renal pelvis. I did a CT scan, which came back normal. After a week, I had mild pain in my left bladder and testicles. I was treated for a stone, but the pain in my testicles still persists. I had another sonography, and the report shows an extra renal pelvis. What should I do next?
