No. Kidney stones are a build up of calcium in your kidney which forms the "stones". I know, I had one on Easter Sunday and had to go to the emergency room! Not fun!

No, kidney stones are a build up minerals that create a stone..there has been evidence of people who live in the country that drink well water have a higher incidence of kidney and gall stones.

Not really unless your pain meds contain calcium...there really isn't an association with the two...no matter what type of stones you may have...do you know you have stones??? Maybe you have pyelonephritis (UTI turned into kidney infection)...

Not likely. An excessive amount of calcium is the most likely culprit. If you are prone to stones, drink at least six 8 ounce glasses of water per day for prevention.

If the pain medecines have Calcium Oxalate, then perhaps so.
