What are kidney stones symptoms
Some people with kidney stones feel no symptoms (known as “silent” stones), while others can feel severe, sharp pain when the stone migrates into the urinary tract. The pain – sometimes lasting for hours at a time – tends to start in the lower back or side, and often moves to the groin. Nausea and vomiting, fever (which may indicate the presence of an infection), blood in the urine, burning pain during urination and blocked urine flow are among other possible symptoms. If infection is present in the urinary tract along with the stones, there may be fever and chills.
