I just had my first warning sign that I will soon pass a kidney stone. (Extreme sharp pain at the tip of my urethra.) This has me very worried (and terrified to go to the restroom!)
I’ve passed many kidney stones over the last five years (I’m 18 years old, male, 5’9" 140 lbs, and otherwise healthy.) Passing kidney stones have been by far the worst experience of my life. My question now is, 1) How fast do Kidney Stones grow? It’s been a while now since I’ve passed one, does that mean that the stone is going to be bigger this time because it’s had longer to grow?
2) Is there anything I can do over the next day or so that I’m passing the stone besides taking Vicodin? The worst part of the experience by FAR is going to the restroom, knowing that I could pass the stone at any time. I’ve had at least one incidence of the stone getting stuck halfway out of my urethra. (With an unpleasant "milking" required to remove the stone.) Any tips for stone passage?

Me and my girlfriend just started working out together at the gym and one day after a workout I made her one of my protein shakes and 5 minutes later she started to have sharp pain on her lower left side.
Is that a sign of some type of kidney disease? should we be concerned? She is only 22 years old.
