A member asked:
How long would pain from kidney stones last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney stones: No time limit. The pain is caused by stretching of the lining of the ureter and kidney by accumulation of urine behind the stone. Usually you get relieve when the acute obstruction is over and you start passing urine around the stone.
