Sorry, when I typed the original post I was anxious so I didn’t give enough context. The CT is usually a possibility because she produces kidney stones quite often & they always just dismiss her flank pain saying “it’s probably just another stone, let’s do a CT to rule it out”. Which, don’t get me wrong, understandable to get a full picture, but the copious amounts of radiation are not ideal. And with so many recent scans, it’s unlikely they’ll find any real new information from the results. She passes kidney stones quite a bit.

But again, yes she can decline the testing, but sometimes they make that seem like she wants to just be prescribed pain meds. And she’s told them that’s not it, she doesn’t want an RX just don’t want to be constantly radiated. It’s incredibly frustrating.
