I've been diagnosed with kidney stones. But most of my pain is in my left thigh and groin. Is this unusual or from some other cause than the kidney or ureter's swelling pushing against or pinching the sciatic nerve?

It is possible that the pain from the kidney stones is causing you to feel pain in other places just because you hold your body differently when you're in pain. Sometimes pain also seems to radiate out from the source. Now, you could have something else going on and so you should mention the pain to your physician the next time you visit him/her. You may want to put gentle pressure on the area where you're feeling pain to see if there are any areas of acute pain and let the doctor know where those are. If you do have more pain in a certain location you should visit the doctor sooner rather than later.
As a general note for kidney stones - make sure that you drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated. Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like referred pain, these are TWO different things
The sciatic nerve runs down the right leg from the back and is caused by sitting on somethging cold in the winter for example or a spine problem.
Kidney stones canb cause back pain, thats the only similaritry

Though sciatica is a common problem, it is really surprising that often it is hard to tell why a person suffers from this ailment. This is why it is often referred to as a back pain complex. Even experienced doctors find it difficult to pinpoint a cause. Number of medical conditions lead to sciatica such as stress and trauma at any point on spinal cord or lower back. This is understandable but when a person feels this pain and the underlying causes are as general as obesity or pregnancy, it presents a vague picture to the doctor. There can be many more underlying causes that require supervision and treatment at the right time.

Well, when my husband had kidney stones, they put him on a morphine drip, so I imagine it can get pretty darn bad. He had a non-invasive form of "surgery" where they pounded on the kidney's using some form of shockwaves(while he was under) and broke the stones up. As the kidney could only undergo so much at once...he had to come back 3 other times, so each kidney could be pounded a total of twice. That bruised him up pretty badly each time, but now no kidney stones.
