Kidney Stone Pain?
I believe I currently have a kidney stone. I woke up with it several days ago and had the typical sharp intense pain and that came and went. I’ve been drinking lots of water and walking as much as I can but it hasn’t passed yet. My concern is that the pain has changed now from the sharp pains that come and go to a constant ache. It’s less intense and more easy to tolerate, but it never goes away – it’s very similar to bad period cramps but it’s only on the one side. I just read something that said if the pain becomes constant it could be because the stone is lodged and no longer moving. Anyone know more about this? I’ve had a stone before but that one passed rather quickly and was very tiny. I’m trying to avoid the doctor if I can as last time they literally couldn’t do a dang thing but send me home and tell me to do exactly what I’m doing now.

Plenty of water certainly helps for the pain but unfortunately some stones won’t budge.
