Kidney stones: It would be unusual but bloating can be associated with kidney stones and renal colic which can make you feel like your abdomen is swollen.

No: Kidney stones can can cause back pain with or without fevers. If the stones drop into the ureter, they will cause colicky pain whic can be severe until they pass, which most will do on their own. Abdominal swelling is usually.Caused by distended bowels, enlarged organs, especially the liver, or fluid buildup (ascites) in the abdominal cavity.
