Extra calcium: The body can only handle 600 milligrams of calcium at once. Extra calcium can build up in the bloodstream and, when excreted through kidneys in urine, it can cause a kidney stone. The bruises may be from lack of other nutrients, i recommend eating more greens. Hope this helped :].

Question 10

if i'm having pain from kidney stones and it gets more painful and starts radiating down my right leg do i need to go back to the doctor?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Dear WHarris,  yes, if you have had kidney stones in the past and this pain feels the same, then it would be better to have a doctor evaluation.   Sometimes, the stones can be too big to pass through and they can block the passage of urine and then the backed up urine can damage the kidney.  I hope you feel better soon.
