Where does it hurt when u have kidney stones?

My neighbour was crying in pain last night and they said it was kidney stones. It sounded really bad. I was wondering, where exactly does it hurt when someone has kidney stones? I hope I never get them!

My son had kidney stones, and the pain was unbearable for him. It usually starts in your back or side, just below the ribs, and then it radiates down to your lower abdomen and groin as the stone moves. It's often described as one of the worst pains. We gave him lots of water and followed the doctor's medicine.

According to my urologist, kidney stone pain, also known as renal colic, typically begins suddenly and intensely in the flank (side and back, just below the ribs). As the stone moves down the urinary tract, the pain migrates to the lower abdomen and groin. It can also cause nausea and blood in the urine. It’s a very distinct, severe, and episodic pain.

Kidney stone pain is no joke, it's excruciating. It usually starts as a sharp, cramping pain in your back or side, below the ribs, and then moves towards the groin. People with high BP also need to be careful with kidney health. Regular water intake and controlling BP are vital. If you suspect stones, go to a doctor immediately for diagnosis and pain management.

Kidney stone pain is famously severe and usually hits your back or side below the ribs. It can then travel to your lower stomach or groin. For something this painful, you need medical help right away. If the doctor gives clearance, staying hydrated and light walking can sometimes help pass smaller stones, but medical advice is paramount.

Ho na, kidney stone ka dard itna bura hota hai! It starts in your back or side, like just below your ribs, and then it moves down towards your private parts and groin area as the stone travels. It's like a really sharp, colicky pain. My masi had it, she said it was worse than childbirth!

Beta, pathri ka dard bahut hi takleef-de hota hai. Yeh peeth ke neeche, kamar ke paas se shuru hota hai aur fir pet ke neeche tak jaata hai. Paani khoob piyo aur doctor ko dikhao. Nimbu paani aur nariyal paani peene se fayda hota hai, aisa log kehte hain, par doctor ki dawa bhi zaruri hai.

Kidney stone pain is no joke, it's intense. It typically starts in your flank, basically your back or side just under your ribs, and can radiate to the lower abdomen and groin. Hydration is super key to prevent them. If you're feeling this kind of pain, hit up a doctor, not the gym.
