Patients suffering from kidney stones may experience stomach pain that begins as a generalized discomfort which increases in severity. It is often described as waxing and waning, coming in waves, and gradually increasing in severity. The pain from kidney stones can render a patient immobile, depending on its severity.

Kidney stone pain, otherwise called renal colic, happens when a kidney stone dislodges and forces its way into a narrow tube called the ureter, which serves as the passageway of urine from the kidneys towards the bladder. The stone, which is usually much bigger than the diameter of the ureter, stretches the walls of the tube as it passes through, causing a patient extreme pain.
