I'm concerned about my friend who has been diagnosed with Kidney stones. He is having pain but it doesn't seem that he has passed the stone as yet... It's been three weeks since he saw the doctor at the clinic. Is it possible the pain is coming from "sand-like particles" and not the actual stone??

Patients who have kidney stones usually do not have symptoms until the stones pass into the ureter. Prior to this, some people may notice blood in their urine. Once the stone is in the ureter, however, most people will experience bouts of very severe pain. The pain is crampy and spasmodic, and is referred to as "colic." The pain usually begins in the flank region, the area between the lower ribs and the hip bone. As the stone moves closer to the bladder, a patient will often feel the pain radiating along the inner thigh. In women, the pain may be felt in the vulva. In men, the pain may be felt in the testicles. Nausea, vomiting, extremely frequent and painful urination, and obvious blood in the urine are common. Fever and chills usually means that the ureter has become obstructed, allowing bacteria to become trapped in the kidney causing a kidney infection (pyelonephritis).
SO I think you'll KNOW when youre in the process of passing one. sometimes doctors will actually give you a sort of 'strainer' to pee into to collect any stones that you DO pass.

You will feel a sudden decrease in pain, it will not completely go away at first. At 4mm there should be blood accompanying micturation. You will most likely be able to see it, or fragments of it broken into sand-like pieces. If you want to be definitely sure you can collect your urine in a clear and clean cup and pass the liquid through a fine sieve, if you have that.

Usually you hear a "clink" when the stone hits the porcelain of the toilet - no joke. Kidney stones are very painful and more so with men because the urinary tract is longer so they have further to travel to be expelled.
