When passing a Kidney Stone, does it hurt?

I got my 1st kidney stone today!!! Looking forward to more. It hurt when the stone traveled from the kidney to the bladder. My question is…

How much does it hurt when the stone leaves the bladder and comes out in the toilet?
Let me just add this…

I was doubled over in the fetal position while driving my car down the freeway, I thought my appendix burst and I was going to die. No joke. I made it to the ER and he pumped me full of some painkiller equal to morphine. No that it’s in my bladder the anticipation of that pain with no "Super" pain killers is almost terrifying. All he gave was 10 percosets (SP.)

Thanks

omg im so scared!!! plz help me asap!!?

my nefue last year got really sick. first he had strep throat and all of his throat swelled up from the inside out and then all of a sudden his ankle started swelling up too, and these red spots that were identified by the doctor as burst blood vesseles apeared all over his face and through out the rest of his body. after he was rushed to the hospital the doctor told us that my 4 yr old nefue had kidney stones, and he was peeing blood. and the reason he was peeing blood was because his intestines were some how "i think" digesting the blood that his body was making. and he ended up in intensive care for several months. we dont know how he got it or what caused it, and niether do the doctors. we had him checked out by 5 specialists. and they couldnt figure out how or why he got the way he was. the doctor put him on 2 types of meds. the first type of medication he gave him was something for his blood pressure. and then the 2nd kind was steroids to calm his body down. after that my nefue was put on a very strict diet do to his medication and his current symptoms.the doctor told us to be carefull because there is a chance it will come back. so we went the whole year with no signs of anyt thing. than all of a sudden april comes along again and the same symptoms begin to occur all over again. i am very scared, his mother and i already nottified the doctor, but i just wanted to know if anyone had any expireience with this and if they know anything about it plz let me know whats going on and why did it decide to come back the next year on the same exact month as it happened before? im really worried, cuz what ever he has attacks his amune system really bad. i want everything to be okay. plz help me…

Did I pass a kidney stone?

I have multiple back pain issues so I have constant pain in that area. Since Sunday evening I had increasing pain on the lower left side of my back. Last night as the evening progressed, the pain moved into the area that would feel like menstrual cramps. I’ve had a hysterectomy so that’s not what it was. It was in the same exact place though.

At midnight, I was so miserable I decided it had to be urinary. I have some burning most of the time since my hysto. It was getting a little more than usual at that time as well. I figured to save my husband from taking me to the ER, I sent him out for AZO urinary pain pills. I was able to sleep through the night and made a dr. appt for thursday. I have been relatively comfortable today with the AZO and my back pain meds.

I just went to urinate. My urine flow has seem a little slow today but not really noticeable. I was urinating and all the sudden I had a bad burst of burning pain and my urine stream increased quickly. I am wondering if I passed a kidney stone. I have had one before but the pain was farther up my back and I ended up passing it/them unnoticed.

As I said, I do have an appt with my GP tomorrow so please no answers telling me to see a dr. I am, I am just curious tonight.

Thank you.
