A member asked:

Can workout sit ups or jump-rope exercises aggravate kidney stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stone position: Exercise will not "aggravate" kidney stones. However, if you have a stone in the lower pole (bottom) of the kidney, then the activity could change the position of the stone where it could pass down the ureter and cause pain.
