What are the side effects of kidney stones?

I've had kidney stones before, and they were extremely painful. I'm trying to avoid them in the future. What are the general side effects or discomforts associated with having kidney stones?

Actually, kidney stone pain is the worst thing ever, yaar. You get this sharp, sudden pain in your lower back that travels down, and sometimes you feel like throwing up. Honestly, you can't even sit or stand properly when the attack happens.

Dekho yaar, seedhi baat hai, kidney stone ka pain tolerate karna mushkil hai. Ulti aana aur peeing me jalan hona normal symptoms hain. Dr. ko dikhao, ultrasound karao aur chup-chap pani peena shuru karo.

I totally get it, the pain can make you cry and feel completely helpless. Along with the back ache, you might feel a constant urge to run to the washroom even when nothing comes out. Please take rest and be very gentle with yourself.

At fifty-four, my body decides to produce stones instead of wisdom. That back pain is no joke, it feels like a physical workout you didn't sign up for. Keep a hot water bag handy, it is the only thing that gives some comfort.

A kidney stone can really slow you down, but it is super treatable! 🥤 Just focus on drinking plenty of water and barley water to flush it out. You'll be back to your energetic self very soon, stay positive! 👍

I just passed an 8mm stone last week and it was a nightmare. The burning while peeing was intense, and my urine was slightly pinkish. If you are going through this, keep drinking lots of warm water and take the spasm medicines prescribed by your doctor.

When the pain is low, doing light walking can actually help gravity move the stone down. Just avoid any heavy lifting or high-intensity workouts. Keep yourself hydrated with fresh coconut water and plain water.

The primary symptom of a kidney stone is renal colic, which causes severe spasmodic pain in the flank area. Patients also commonly experience hematuria, burning micturition, and nausea. I highly recommend getting an ultrasound and consulting a urologist to determine the stone size.

I got so terrified when I saw a drop of blood in my urine during my stone issue, I thought it was something fatal! But my doctor reassured me that the stone scratch causes this. It is totally common, so don't panic, just follow the treatment.

Drinking coconut water and barley water daily helps a lot in flushing out small kidney stones. However, if your pain becomes unbearable or you are unable to pass urine, skip the home remedies and go to a hospital immediately.

The main side effects are sharp back pain, nausea, and burning during urination. Please take your pain medications on time and keep your urologist updated on any changes.

Hey, don't worry too much. The sharp side pain and nausea are classic signs, but they will go away once the stone passes or is treated. Just make sure you are not ignoring any high fever, and keep me posted on how you feel.

Do not let the pain disturb your peace of mind, dear. The body goes through these trials, but staying positive and eating simple, clean food will help you heal faster. Take care of yourself.

The pain is so dramatic, it makes you want to write a will over a 5mm stone! But seriously, once you start drinking water like a fish, it usually passes. Just treat it as a temporary water drinking challenge.

I have this constant dull ache in my right flank and my doctor suspects a small stone. Does anyone else get this shivering feeling along with the pain, or should I be worried about an infection?
