    I doubt a CT scan would miss a stone, but since she has stones in the affected kidney, this can cause pain, obviously. Any kidney stone can cause pain in my experience. An infection in that zone can also cause kidney pain, as has been my personal experience.

    stone in bladder? That one should pass easily. Stones in kidney or in ureter between kidney and bladder.

    side note: new format for typing here stinks
