A member asked:

What's the best "over the counter" medication for kidney stone pain/soreness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Howard Shapiro answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Nephrology & Dialysis

First find the cause: The management depends on the composition of the stone. If you pass a stone, it can be analyzed by a lab. A urologist or nephrologist can check urinary excretion rates for substances that cause stones; with blood tests as well to provide an effective treatment regimen
