It hurts: Cause sever flank pain, pain on urination and blood in urine. Usually you would need to go to er for ct scan. When confirmed, some stones pass on their own and others may need surgical removal - depends on size and location. Keep well hydrated and take pains meds.

Kidney stones: Eighty % of adult kidney stones are calcium stones. Most form with oxalate. Uric acid also participates. Citrate in urine can inhibit stone formations. Diet and fluid matter hugely. A 24 hour urine analysis is necessary to Dx and Rx. Start with 4 liters/day fluid. Add lemon extract 5 tblspns/day. Reduce salt and meat. Increase fruit and veggies. HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) may be needed to Rx.
