what are symptoms of kidney stone - #37562
I am really worried about some health issues I've been having lately. Just last week, I started feeling this intense pain in my back, like a sharp stabbing sensation that wouldn't go away. I figured it was just muscle strain from lifting my toddler, but today I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen as well, like something's not right. I remember hearing about kidney stones from a friend who went through a terrible time with them. I mean, I’ve been drinking a little less water since summer ended, and honestly, I've been a bit more tired lately. Now I can't help but wonder, what are symptoms of kidney stone? Are there other things I should be looking out for? I’ve also felt this queasiness in my stomach and sometimes, when I go to the bathroom, it kinda burns. Ugh, I’m just freaking out a bit, thinking maybe I could be dealing with this and I really don’t want to go through any surgeries or anything. My friend said the pain was unbearable, like someone was using a jackhammer in her side. What are some signs to look for? Should I rush to the doctor or just wait and see if it gets better? Any advice on what are symptoms of kidney stones would be super helpful right now!

Kidney stones can indeed cause a great deal of discomfort, and when they occur, they typically produce a few key symptoms you may want to keep an eye on. That “sharp stabbing sensation” in the back, especially if it radiates down the abdomen towards the groin, is indeed a classic indicator. They often cause intermittent waves of pain that’s intense and cramping, known as renal colic. However, not everyone with kidney stones experiences the exact same set of symptoms.
Your description of discomfort in the lower abdomen and burning during urination are also noteworthy; such symptoms might suggest the stone is moving closer to the bladder. In addition, queasiness or nausea, sometimes accompanied by vomiting, is not uncommon as the body responds to the pain and irritation of the urinary tract.
Another sign would be changes in your urine. Cloudy or foul-smelling urine, as well as any blood-tinged urine, often appear when stones irritate the lining of the urinary tract. However, stress and general tiredness, while possibly related to the discomfort from kidney stones, could have multiple causes.
Though drinking enough water is generally good for preventing stones, when symptoms are this pronounced, it’s crucial to seek prompt medical attention. Waiting can sometimes exacerbate the situation, especially if there is any fever, which could indicate an infection, a more immediate concern. An Ayurvedic perspective would consider balancing your Prakriti through a suitable diet, lifestyle, and herbs, but this should complement, not replace, modern medical examination when such symptoms are present.
For now, increase your water intake, aiming to drink about 8-10 glasses a day, as dehydration often exacerbates stone formation. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can dehydrate further. Consider safer and soothing drinks such as coconut water, known in Ayurveda to help in clearing urinary tracts. Yet, these measures serve to complement, not replace, seeking a healthcare professional’s input, particularly if pain persists. Be gentle about any lifting or activities that may strain your back.
