Hopefully not: Pain related to kidney stones needs 2B treated appropriately. as does MS. Small stones hopefully pass on their own with hydration + possibly tamsulosin to help dilate ureter to facilitate passage. Obstruction from stones needs to be relieved. Stones need to removed if they are associated with urinary tract infections as infected fragments form nidus for further infections & stone enlargement.

Comments: Kidney stones are miserable and probably one of the most intense pains that humans can encounter, but will not make MS worse or trigger a relapse. If the stones are a nidus of infection, this could be an answer for your bladder infection. There is no causal relation between kidney stones and MS, and you could consider lithotripsy to deal with these.
