 How painful are kidney stones? 

Kidney stones can be incredibly painful. Imagine experiencing a sharp, stabbing pain that travels to your belly and groyne from your side or lower back. It's difficult to get any relief; it feels like a cramp on rocket. Because the pain is so great, people frequently compare it to childbirth.

 

The pain is usually sudden and quite severe on one side of your back and it can cause immediate nausea and vomiting. "Basically, for the first-timer with a kidney stone, the symptoms are not subtle." This sudden pain will begin to ebb and flow after the first few hours, gradually improving after a few days. You shouldn't wait for the pain to ease—seek evaluation right away. 

"Along with pain, kidney stones can sometimes be associated with infection, which will present itself as a fever.

The crystals' scraping and swelling of the tissues as they move is what causes the pain. Comparing it to a sharp rock attempting to fit through a small tube makes you uncomfortable. Additional factors that influence the stone's movement and level of pain are its composition and form. 

Thankfully, the pain can be short and treatable with healthcare experts.

 

So, while kidney stone pain can be unbearable, remember that there are ways to ease it and get through the ordeal with proper care.
