Symptoms of KIDNEY STONES
Kidney stones produce typical symptoms. They include episodes of severe, colicky (intermittent) pain every few minutes. the pain usually appears first in the back, just below the ribs or in the flank. Over several hours or days, the pain follows the stone’s course through the ureter toward the bladder. The pain stops when the stone passes. Frequent nausea is common, especially when the pain is severe. There may be blood in the urine, or the urine may appear cloudy or dark. There may have been similar episodes of pain in the past.
