Can kidney stones cause fatigue?

Please don't take the fatigue lightly. When I had a stone, I ignored the tiredness and mild back ache until it turned into a severe kidney infection with high fever. If you are feeling unusually exhausted, please visit your doctor immediately to get an ultrasound.

I have been feeling so tired lately that I can barely get out of bed, and I just found out I have a small kidney stone. Is this really normal? Has anyone else felt this level of exhaustion even without severe pain?

I went to a specialist at Max Hospital for my stone last year, and they explained that pain signals constantly drain your brain's energy, causing fatigue. I highly recommend discussing this directly with your urologist so they can check if everything is clearing up fine.

I can only share what happened to me, but yes, I felt incredibly drained and sluggish the entire two weeks I was dealing with my kidney stone. Once the stone finally passed, my normal energy levels came back within a couple of days.
