What is kidney stone pain like?

Let me put it this way: it feels like a tiny, angry spiky demon is trying to tunnel its way out of your side. It comes in waves and might make you want to cry, but once the stone passes, you'll feel like a king again. Keep drinking water like it's your job!

When my husband had it, the pain started in his back and radiated down to his groin, causing intense vomiting too. We immediately rushed to Apollo and got an ultrasound done. Please don't guess the symptoms; get a proper diagnosis from a urologist.

Oh god, the thought of kidney stone pain makes me so anxious because everyone says it is worse than labor. It is a severe, stabbing pain that doesn't go away no matter how much you change positions. If you are feeling even a little bit of this, please get checked before it gets worse!

It is an extremely sharp, unbearable pain in your lower back that comes in waves. Please go to a hospital if you are experiencing this.

Having seen many family members go through this, the pain is a very severe ache in the flank area that can cause nausea. It usually peaks and then subsides for a bit. The best approach is to get a quick ultrasound and follow the doctor's medication to flush it out safely.

It's a brutal, sharp pain that limits your movement completely. Once the doctor gives you pain clearance and if the stone is small, sometimes light walking and drinking gallons of water can help it pass. But do not try any heavy exercises while in severe pain.

Yaar, it is actually the worst kind of pain, literally like someone is twisting a knife in your lower back. It comes suddenly out of nowhere and you can't even sit straight. Don't ignore it if you feel that sharp pinch, just see a doc.

Bhai, kidney stone ka dard bahut bhayanak hota hai, peeth ke peeche se shuru hota hai. Aadmi na baith pata hai na so pata hai. Agar aisa dard ho toh turant doctor babu ke paas jao, bilkul deri mat karo.

No sugarcoating it—kidney stone pain is severe enough to land you in the ER. It starts in your side/back and can move down to the bladder area as the stone travels. If you have this pain along with fever or blood in urine, go to a hospital immediately.

My uncle had this sharp side pain, and at home they suggested tender coconut water immediately to soothe it. While that helps hydration, the pain was so severe we had to take him to the hospital. Always trust the doctor's scan over home tricks for such severe pain.

I was just reading about this yesterday! Apparently, the pain is so intense because the tiny stone blocks the flow of urine, making the kidney stretch and swell. Most people describe it as a severe cramping pain in the back and side.
