From what my gym clients have shared, it feels like a sudden, severe cramp in the side and lower back, often mistaken for intense menstrual cramps. Keeping your daily water intake high is crucial, especially if you take protein supplements, to prevent these stones from forming.
It feels like a sharp, agonizing stab in the lower back and pelvic area that doesn't go away even if you change positions. It is much worse than regular period cramps.
It is like a sharp, wave-like pain that starts in the back and moves down to the groin area! 🙈 Many women say it actually feels like labor pain. Don't worry, drink lots of water and check with your doc! 👍

Listen dear, it feels like a really bad, burning pain in your lower back or pelvis, almost like a UTI mixed with heavy periods. Don't stress too much, just go get an ultrasound done so you can get the right medicine and relax.
