Need doctor's help! will kidney stones be mistaken for sciatica?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Kidney stones give severe pain from 'loin to groin'. They can be mistaken for sciatica and vice-versa. Blood in the urine is a giveaway. Sciatica typically is buttock and down the back and outside of leg.
