A member asked:

Are there any symptoms a person develops after passing a kidney stone? i passed my first kidney stone 3 days ago but still have discomfort in my kidne

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The kidney is covered in a very thick piece of skin that doesn't like to be stretched - when stone blocks urine flow the kidney can swell a bit and push on this skin. This is what triggers nausea/vomiting/pain. Once pressure gone there may be some local bruising that may take a few days to recover. Drink plenty of water - a bit of cranberry juice to help urine to have more acid to flush small grit
