Symptoms of kidney stones can include serious pain, upset stomach, vomiting, fever, chills and blood in the urine. […] A kidney stone usually doesn’t cause symptoms until it moves around within the kidney or passes into one of the ureters. The ureters are the tubes that connect the kidneys and bladder. […] If a kidney stone gets stuck in one of the ureters, it may block the flow of urine and cause the kidney to swell and the ureter to spasm. That can be very painful. At that point, you may have these symptoms: Serious, sharp pain in the side and back, below the ribs. Pain that spreads to the lower stomach area and groin. Pain that comes in waves and varies in how intense it feels. Pain or a burning feeling while urinating.

  The acute passage of a kidney stone is the 9th most common cause of emergency room visits. Approximately 7-8% of women and 11-16% of men will have stone disease by age 70. The acute syndrome complex called renal colic implies obstruction of the collecting system or ureter, and the most common cause of obstruction is a kidney stone. […] Symptoms typically begin at night or the early morning hours with abrupt onset and awakening the patient from sleep. During the day, the onset of symptoms may follow heavy exercise and may be more gradual with an occasional prodrome of unilateral discomfort in the flank, testis or vulva on the side of the obstruction. The pain then becomes continuous, steady; and progressively more severe as it approaches a peak. For some, there are acute paroxysms of increasingly intense pain. Anorexia, nausea and vomiting commonly appear with the pain, and gross hematuria may be present. Overall, one-third of patients have a relatively rapid onset and reach peak pain in 30 minutes or less. Untreated, the pain may last for 4 to 12 hours, but most patients have presented to the emergency room by the time the pain becomes continuous, usually by two hours into the colic.

[…] Typically, the pain fluctuates in severity but does not go away completely without treatment. Waves of severe pain, known as renal colic, usually last 20 to 60 minutes. […] Blood in the urine — Most people with kidney stones will have blood in the urine; the medical term for this is „hematuria.” […] Other symptoms — Other kidney stone symptoms may include nausea or vomiting, pain with urination, and an urgent need to urinate. […] However, stones typically do cause symptoms when they pass from the kidneys through the urinary tract.

• #1 Nephrolithiasis Clinical Presentation: History, Physical Examination, Complications

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/437096-clinical

  Most calculi originate within the kidney and proceed distally, creating various degrees of urinary obstruction as they become lodged in narrow areas, including the ureteropelvic junction, pelvic brim, and ureterovesical junction. Location and quality of pain are related to position of the stone within the urinary tract. Severity of pain is related to the degree of obstruction, presence of ureteral spasm, and presence of any associated infection. […] The actual pain attack tends to occur in somewhat predictable phases, with the pain reaching its peak in most patients within 2 hours of onset. The pain roughly follows the dermatomes of T-10 to S-4. The entire process typically lasts 3-18 hours. Renal colic has been described as having 3 clinical phases. […] Nausea and vomiting occur in at least 50% of patients with acute renal colic. Nausea is caused by the common innervation pathway of the renal pelvis, stomach, and intestines through the celiac axis and vagal nerve afferents.

  https://ada.com/conditions/nephrolithiasis/

  Pain is one of the most obvious symptoms of kidney stone obstructions. Where the pain is felt, and where it radiates to in the body, can indicate where the calculus is within the renal system. The pain that accompanies a kidney stone is felt acutely in the flank (the side) and radiates down the groin on the same side. Not all stones cause pain that spreads. Some stones may cause no pain at all. […] Pain from kidney stones is often described as excruciating and intermittent, and often occurs in cycles that last between 20 minutes and an hour. People with painful kidney stones often cannot keep still because of the pain. They are often ashen, pale and sweaty, with a tender abdomen. […] Kidney stones are more common in men, and in adults between 20 and 50 years of age, but very rare in children. It is most common in adults who have a low fluid intake and consequently produce little urine, which can contain high amounts of stone-forming substances. […] Symptoms occur when a stone leaves the kidney and enters the tighter ureter, the tube between the kidney and bladder.

• #1 The 4 Stages of Passing a Kidney Stone

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/stages-of-passing-a-kidney-stone-5215247

  There are four stages of passing a kidney stone: The stone forms, leaves the kidney, reaches the bladder and causes pressure, and finally, exits the body. […] Symptoms of a kidney stone differ based on the stage, and many people will not have symptoms at all until the stone moves into the ureter (a tube that connects the kidneys and bladder). […] Pain can come in waves as the ureter spasms to try to pass the stone. […] When the stone reaches the bladder, the pressure builds up in the organ. At this stage of passing a kidney stone, you will feel an urgent need to urinate frequently. […] Typically, the majority of intense pain is improved or resolved once the stone exits the ureter. […] Most people associate the pain of passing a kidney stone with stage 4, or when it actually exits the body. But pain is most associated with stage 2 (when it leaves the kidney).

  https://ugatl.com/services/kidney-stones/stages-of-passing-a-kidney-stone/

  The pain associated with passing a kidney stone may feel unbearable. […] If you have stones, you may experience sharp pain that occurs intermittently as the kidney spasms while attempting to eliminate the stone from your body. This pain may feel similar to a back muscle strain. Expect to experience spasms around 1 to 4 times per hour until the stone passes into your ureter. […] The stone has now reached the ureter, a tube linking the kidneys and bladder. Despite the toughest part being over, this phase can still cause severe discomfort.

However, you will experience intense pressure and a strong urge to urinate frequently, around every 5 minutes, as your body tries to expel the stone.
