Can kidney stones cause stomach pain?
I've had kidney stones in the past, and the pain was always in my back. But lately, I'm getting a lot of stomach pain, sometimes really severe. Can kidney stones actually cause pain in the stomach area?

Ah, the joys of getting older! Yes, kidney stones can make your stomach ache like crazy. I thought it was just my usual acidity from spicy food, but the doctor showed me a 7mm stone on the scan.

Hey, yes, it definitely can! The pain usually starts in the back and travels to the lower stomach area. Don't worry too much, just keep drinking water and see a doctor to get an ultrasound.

I was looking this up because my cousin is suffering from it. Apparently, the nerves of the kidney and gastrointestinal tract are closely linked, which is why stones can cause stomach pain and even nausea.

Listen, kidney stone pain absolutely radiates to the stomach. Stop searching online, go to a good diagnostic lab, get a KUB ultrasound done, and show it to a doctor.

Stomach pain can be due to many reasons, from simple gas to appendicitis or stones. For your own safety, please consult a medical professional rather than self-treating.
