Pelvic/lumbar pain could be from the ureter, obstruction or stone somewhere along its course?

The lady is obviously an unusual case. I would vote for an intravenous pyelogram to rule out a stone or an obstruction (e.g., ovarian vein syndrome, or obstruction by the uterus, etc.).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
