What are the symptoms?


 The major symptom that most people experience is pain. This is because the stone gets lodged in the ureter, which is the tube that carries urine from the kidney all the way to the bladder. 

Often the urinary tract goes into a spasm, which causes severe pain in the back and the side. This pain may occasionally be in the lower abdomen.

Difficulty urinating is another symptom. This is of course caused by the blockage from the kidney stones.  

Blood in the urine is caused by a stone attempting to move through the ureter. Do not be alarmed if you see blood as it is normal, it's just that the stone is larger than average.

Some people may suffer from these additional symptoms:  chills, fever, vomiting, or nausea.
