  5. I have a 3.5mm stone in my right kidney, and I've been experiencing unbearable pain for the past two weeks. I've consulted a doctor, and they advised painkillers, injections, and said surgery isnt necessary because the stone is small. They also recommended some blood tests, and here are my results:- WBC: 10600 (normal: 4000-9000)- Neutrophils: 71.3% (normal: 50-65)- Monocyte: 02.2% (normal: 3-8)- H.C.T: 47.4% (normal: 38-48)- R.D.W.: 15.1% (normal: 11.5-15.0)- MCHC: 30.3% (normal: 33-36)- Uric Acid: 8.0 (normal: 1.5-6)- HBsAg: NegativeI need help understanding if the pain is really from the kidney stone or if it could be something else. Should I consider surgery, or are there other medications or precautions I should follow? Also, can you recommend a good nephrologist in Kolkata who can guide me further? Is there any special diet I need to follow? Please help as this pain is really affecting my professional life.

Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone. Avoid foods high in oxalates such as spinach, beets, and nuts, as they can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. As for the abnormal blood test results, your elevated WBC count and low MCHC may indicate an infection. It would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment if deemed necessary. You can request your doctor to prescribe moderate to strong painkillers to achieve relief from pain.
