A patient who has had a single kidney stone has about a 50% chance of developing another stone. Whether you will develop a second kidney stone in the opposite kidney, depends in part on the reason for the formation of the stones.

Your son was just diagnosed with kidney stones one on the way down.will he be in pain for a while or just while he actually passes it?

When the stone sits in the kidney, it rarely causes problems, but should it fall into the ureter, it acts like a dam. The kidney continues to function and make urine, which backs up behind the stone, stretching the kidney. This pressure build up causes the pain of a kidney stone, but it also helps push the stone along the course of the ureter. When the stone enters the bladder, the obstruction in the ureter is relieved and the symptoms, and pain, of a kidney stone are resolved.
