Sometimes: Even small stones can be very painful. The good news is that they are easier to pass. Drink lots of pure water and try relaxation exercises including visualizing the stone leaving your body. I have had patients tell me this works. Also, get an evaluation by an expert to find out how to prevent more stones.
With proper testing, we can find ways to prevent over 90% of recurrences.

Question 3

how long before a kidney stone causes permanent kidney damage?

Accepted Answer

Stones: It really depends on where the stone is.  Some stones last for years and never cause any issues.  Others, especially those that obstruct the ureters, can cause blockage to the outflow of urine and result in kidney damage.  It can start causing scaring of the kidney in a few weeks.  If both ureters are blocked, you can go into acute renal failure in a few days (usually temporary).
