Answer 3

Some kidney stone sufferers may feel a dull, non-descript pain in their lower back for days, while others are suddenly crippled by extremely sharp pains. These symptoms and warning signs are intended to be a general layman's guide to self-diagnosing a possible kidney stone attack, not a substitute for proper medical attention. If you feel pains that are unrelenting and strong, seek a doctor's care as soon as possible. Don't wait until the actual attack begins- a simple in-office urine test can usually diagnose a kidney stone condition long before the actual attack.


Dull, 'toothachy' pain originating in the lower back or pelvis. This may be your first indication that something serious is developing.
The level of pain may be continuous, or it may come and go in waves. It will rarely disappear entirely. You may take an analgesic tablet or two, expecting the pain to dissipate. After a few hours or even days, the pain will most likely increase in degree and be more definite in its location. Some victims feel a definite tension in the kidney area, as if their urine was trying to get past a blockage. You may even feel a 'squirting' sensation internally, as fluids try to get past the blockage. Even if the pain is tolerable, it should never be left unchecked.

Fever, disorientation, general 'blahs'. Along with this dull pain in the lower back, many victims experience a general sense of disorientation and fatigue. You may feel feverish or chilled. Your thought process may become cloudier, and your energy level dramatically lower. An actual fever may or may not be present, but you still experience the same nausea and grogginess you might associate with a serious cold or stomach bug. Walking becomes more and more difficult, and the pain makes everyday tasks nearly impossible. You may experience trouble reaching above your head, or recovering from a bent position.

Signs of blood in the urine. If you can, observe any urine you secrete during this time of distress. You may be able to see actual blood traces in the urine, or the urine itself may be an unusual color.

i may say yes and no. if you feel the pain infront, not at the back, and its on left side, possibly ovary (if you're a woman)or either infections of the ureter. you can only be sure if you will undergo some laboratory examination to be sure. if your urine has high count of creatinin then its infection of kidney or kidney stones. ultrasound may help. i suffered pain due to kidney stones and undergo some lazer operation/shock wave (three times), the stones located at the ureter. after the stones been crushed, pain gone, but the doctor told me that im already prone to kidney stones. and watch your diet. GO have some laboratory examinations.,to be sure of your conditions.,just in case you're suffering from this.

Answer 5

it's possible but kidney stones usually hurt in the back flank area and maybe the upper thigh in the back of the leg. For many the pain is horrible. You can look on Web MD. You can look up your symptoms.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

Answer 9

kidney stones start in the back and hang up on the side and again in the front. if you are jaudiced then it is your liver...go to the hospital you got hepititus perhaps? *but listen to your doc not me!*

Answer 10

when my tummy hurts in that area is is my diverticulosis acting up (which means I should not eat seeds or nuts and I have) Diverticulosis is tiny perferations (holes) in the intestine wall that tends to trap tiny seed or nuts and become infected...there are other things too probably that hurt on that side but this is what causes mine.
