Drink, drink, drink! Drink plenty of water! If that doesn't help go see your family doctor. They got meds they can give you that can help desolve it some to help pass it easier. He may also prescribe some pain pills to help with the acute pain. But the most IMPORTANT and I can't stress this enough is to drink plenty of fluids, mostly water.

The kidney stone seldom lodges in the kidney. It passes from the kidney into the urinary tract and can become wedged in the ureter before reaching the bladder.

One reason for their formation is insufficient hydration, and drinking extra water may force the kidney stone out. But if barbs on the stone lock it into place, you may need lithotripsy, which breaks up the stone using low-frequency sound waves. The waves are pulsed at an increasing rate and shatter the stone. Eventually it will pass into the bladder (in whole or in pieces). Filter paper is used to capture stones from urine for analysis.

The main treatment for kidney stones is pain relievers and an IV for rehydration. X-rays can locate the stones, and lithotripsy is almost always effective. In cases of large stones or severe blockage, ureteroscopy or even surgical removal may be required.

Some of the symptoms can be quite misleading

  • Urinating more frequently than usual
  • Fever and chills
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Pain on urination
  • Pink, red or brown urine
  • Severe pain in the side and back
  • Pain in the lower abdomen and groin
  • Pain that comes in waves

If you have any of these symptoms go and see your doctor.
