Patient: I found out I have a kidney stone and been experiencing vary bad pain for usually about 3 hours a day. The nurse thought it was wierd when I me roomed my upper abdomin also hurts suing this time. I thought maybe my zipfoid process? It gets pretty intense. I had reg discomfort for about 2 weeks before this but now wonder why it hurts so bad when it does and why does my upper an hurt if it shouldn't be? Also how much longer is this going to go on for? Doctor: kidney stones are common these days not to worry there good medical and surgical methods for this..now for your kidney stone i suggest u consume plenty of water where smaller stones tend to pass down with urine..for if your pain worsens you may take effective pain killers like tramadol for once if you find no relief then consult your surgeon who would advice a sonography of abdomen..there are surgical procedures like shock wave lithotrypsy which has given good results..
