Kidney stones: Stomach pain is not usual with kidney stones. Best to get checked out by your doctor. For the kidney stones be sure to drink 6-8 glasses of water per day to dilute the urine and take a highly absorbable magnesium supplement e.g. magnesium malate every day to help prevent stone formation.

Likely: While the pain from kidney stones can be felt in the abdominal area, there are plenty of other reasons for stomach pains, including constipation and acid reflex among the more common ones. Try some OTC meds for the same for a couple of days Nd see your primary doc if still symptomatic. Feel better:

Pain: I am assuming when you say stomach you mean the front and upper part of your abdomen. It is not typical for kidney stones to cause pain there. There can be pain along the flank and lower part of the abd. Suggest you be seen by your MD. This may be unrelated to your stone. I see a PPI in your medication list. Do you have peptic ulcer disease ? A good physical exam is needed. Best of luck
