i need your expert opinion. i should really see a doctor but just curious. what symptoms do you get when you have a kidney stone? i always thought it hurt to pee it out but apparently most of the pain comes from when it forms in your kidney? is that true?
a while ago (maybe a couple months ago now) i woke up with this awful pain on my back around the bottom of my ribs. it was so bad i could hardly move and even sitting down it hurt. the pain seemed to travel down towards my hip over the next week or so and it has remained there since.
just because of that i was thinking maybe i've grew a stone. no issues peeing or anything. well actually now i think about it ONCE it did sting. the pain in my hip seems to come and go. i can have good days where it doesn't bother me but days like today sitting at my desk on a chair at work or home it becomes unbearably uncomfortable. even if i'm in bed it can hurt if i'm lying on my side. that's the only times it seems to bother me. sitting on a chair or lying in bed. i can get comfortable in bed but not on a chair.
can't feel any lumps so i just assumed it was the muscle or bone. but that doesn't explain how the pain started from my ribs to my hip. not sure if it is a kidney stone but was thinking it could be.
and again i should really go see a doctor lol because it doesn't seem to be going away. maybe it's just me getting older and dealing with more aches and pains.
edit: and apparently people say if you have kidney stones then you will be in no doubt about it. so i suppose it's not that..... sorry Dr Voyage
