How to recognize kidney stones?
My friend recently had severe pain and found out it was kidney stones. I'm curious, what are the common symptoms of kidney stones? How do you recognise them early on to avoid severe pain?

Agreed, that sharp side-back pain is unmistakable. Drinking plenty of water helps, but an ultrasound is the only way to be sure.

Don't sit and guess if it is muscle pain or a kidney stone. If you have sudden, severe pain in your lower back or side that comes in waves, get an ultrasound done at a clinic immediately to save your working week.

A kidney stone usually presents with sharp pain in the back or side, painful urination, or blood in the urine. However, since these symptoms can mimic other abdominal issues, getting a professional diagnosis from a urologist is highly recommended.

I have seen many family members suffer from this. The pain can be extremely intense and sudden. If you also notice blood in your urine or are vomiting due to pain, please go straight to a doctor instead of trying home remedies.

Hey, if the pain is radiating from your back down to your groin and makes you feel nauseous, it might be a stone. Please don't worry, but do visit a hospital casualty so they can give you proper pain relief and check it.
