What are the symptoms of kidney stones?

Answer 1

lower back pain (sometimes throbbing)
pain radiating to the side (either side)
increased urge to urinate or not being able to urinate
throbbing pain in the side (sort of like when you get a headache)
The pain will move from your back down your side to your bladder if the stone is moving and then down into your bladder. The pain will be off and on and get worse at times more than others. When it reaches your bladder your bladder will start to spasm. When you pass it out of your bladder you may feel pain and even see blood (or see blood in urine anytime during this time). You can have blood in your urine and not be able to see it.

Kidney stones start out feeling like an ache in your back-side or flank. It's a dull ache to begin with and then gets worse. The pain radiates from your flank down to the groin area as the stone passes. Look for blood in your urine. You may feel the need to pee but you can't or you won't go much. Normally this is an emergency situation because of the pain involved and will require you being taken to the ER. At the ER they will give you pain medication like Demerol which helps a lot. Eventually the stone will pass and the pain will stop but I'm here to tell ya--Kidney stones aren't fun. They are compared to having a baby. I don't know what that's like since I'm a man but I've had kidney stones numerous times. Doctors are using new medicines to treat kidney stones and help them pass. One is called Hydromorphone and it certainly helps, however when the stone passes you need to see a Doctor rather than trying to suffer through it. . YOU NEED TO FOLLOW UP WITH A DOCTOR OR IT COULD RESULT IN PERMANENT KIDNEY DAMAGE. Best of luck.

Answer 4

There will be pain on either your left or right side, sometimes both, and it will be more towards the side and not the middle of your abdomen or your back. The pain is intense, some people say it is like childbirth. I have seen people throw up and double in pain. Some people will not be able to urinate at all. The pain will pretty much knock you off your feet, you will not be able to do much.

Hopefully, it isn't a kidney stone. If you have one, it is likely you will continue to have them for the rest of your life. I have seen kidney stones from the size of a grain of sand all the way up to the size of pea gravel. If you have one, I would get it checked out and not let it get too bad. You could cause permanent kidney damage.

Good luck!!

Answer 6

Symptoms include: pain on one side of the lower back, in the belly, or down into the groin; frequent urge to urinate; blood and sediment in the urine; nausea and vomiting; chills and fever if the stone causes a blockage and an infection.

If it turns out you have kidney stones you need to avoid foods that are high in oxalic acid. By far the worst offenders are: spinach, rhubarb, tomatoes, collards, eggplant, beets, celery, summer squash, sweet potatoes, peanuts, almonds, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, concord grapes, parsley, and cocoa.
Also avoid grapefruit, red meat, and limit your consumption of other animal products.
Avoid calcium overload by eliminating dariy products from your diet like milk, cheese, ice cream, and the like. The calcium in these products is not easily absorbed by the digestive system and ends up as extra waste matter in your kidneys.
Stay away from refined sugar, especially fizzy drinks. Salt, caffeine and alcohol all dehydrate you, which increases the concentration of minerals in the urine, which leads to stone formation. Cut out caffeine and alcohol, and strictly limit salt.

Drink heaps of water, eat lots of fresh, raw veges, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, fish, oats and wheat bran.
Lemon juice mixed with a little hot water is another remedy that will help acidify the urine and ease the passage of stones. Orange juice can be helpful as well.
Vitamin A is excellent, so eat lots of orange-yellow and green veges.
Pumpkin seeds are great, as is watermelon.
Magnesium deficiency has been linked to recurring kidney stones. Boost your levels by eating leafy greens, kelp, soy beans and apples.
Aloe vera juice is helpful, as is B6 and Vit E.

Hope that helps :)

Answer 7

I'm not entirely sure, but I think that feeling like you have to pee, but ending up not having to is a symptom.

Blood in urine
