where does stone pain occur - #13910

Agastya

I am trying to figure out where does stone pain occur because I've been having these awful pains lately. It started about a week ago. At first, it was just a dull ache in my lower back, but now it’s like this sharp stabbing pain that shoots through my side. It’s honestly pretty terrifying. I went to urgent care and the doctor mentioned something about kidney stones, which apparently is a thing. But I’m not sure where does stone pain occur, like, is it just in the back, or could it be in the abdomen too? Sometimes it feels like the pain radiates to my groin, which is possibly the worst part - makes me feel all weird and hopeless! They did some tests and said I might need to get an ultrasound, but that takes days. Meanwhile, this pain is driving me nuts. I’m really curious, though, where exactly does stone pain occur in people? Is it different for everyone? I'm scared it might just get worse and I won’t know what’s happening. Any advice would be super helpful! If you've had stones or know what I should look out for, please share!
