Question 1

is there a way to find out why did my kidney stone pain stop when i didn't pass the stone?

Accepted Answer

Assuming: You have an obstructing stone your pain may have resolved by a phenomenon called forniceal rupture. In essence, the pressure from obstruction can cause part of the collecting system in the kidney to rupture in a small area and the urine collect around the kidney. The rupture makes the pain go away even though the stone didn't pass.

Question 2

how often is kidney stone pain?

Accepted Answer

Depends on site: If the stone is in the ureter (kidney to bladder tube), there is something call "peristalsis", which helps move things along. That would mean a periodicity to the pain: every few minutes. However, if the stone is in the kidney, and blocking the exit, it may be a constant pain; if it is in the urethra (exiting), it may be excrutiating and constant!

Question 3

where do woman feel kidney stone pain?

Accepted Answer

Location dependent: Dependent on the location of the stone. Stone inside the kidney are usually asymptomatic unless they move. In the proximal ureter the usually case back/flank pain and the stone moves done the ureter the pain may become more abdominal and refer to the groin as it gets closer to the bladder.

Question 4

how can you relieve kidney stone pain fast?

Accepted Answer

See : A urologist if you think you have renal stones. Acute pain evaluation/treatment can also be obtained in acute care centers.

Question 5

what can b done to lessen kidney stone pain?

Accepted Answer

REMOVE stone, meds: Obviously when the kidney stone passes the pain will resolve.  If the kidney stone is too large (>4mm) it is unlikely to pass on its own and referral to a urologist is in order.  To help pass a kidney stone fluid hydration will help (er gives IV fluid bolus).  I have found drinking 1-2 gatorades (full strength) acts as an IV bolus.  Narcotic pain meds can help with the pain. Hope you are better!

Question 6

what would you compare maximum kidney stone pain with?

Accepted Answer

Labor pains: Kidney stone pain has been equated with labor pain on many occasions.

Question 7

how long is it supposed to it take for kidney stone pain to pass?

Accepted Answer

Varies: It can take for days to weeks to never.  All depends on size of stone,  how much fluid is taken in, it there is any inflammation that may hold the stone up.  Most stones.

Question 8

does kidney stone pain travel from the right side to the left side?

Accepted Answer

No: Normally, if you have a stone on the right, it will always hurt on the right side. It is possible that you might be passing a very small stone on the other side that might account for the pain switching sides but typically the pain is on one side only and stays that way.

Question 9

what's the best medication or ways to relieve severe kidney stone pain?

Accepted Answer

Fluids: kidney stones are painful.  You can drink fluids to increase you urine volume.  Try water.  Don't increase fluids by drinking more soda or high fructose energy drinks.  If you need pain medications see your doctor.  Good luck hope you pass them soon.

Question 10

can you tell me about kidney stone pain on opposite side of where the stone is?

Accepted Answer

Need specific...: To me, the question is not specific for answering to the point. Generally, the stone-related pain is caused by local tissue irritation and blockage of urine flow, and typically characterized with its erratic degree, duration, and interval of sudden-onset pain on the same side with radiating pain to groin and genital region of the same side as it moves through ureter hopefully into the bladder.
