Kidney stones are not good, I’ve suffered with them for 20 years and am shortly having another operation to remove another large stone stuck in my kidney. I sympathise with your suffering. When you were diagnosed last Christmas did they scan you? The pain is normally from when the stone moves from the kidney into your ureter on the way to the bladder and the pain should pass when the stone passes. If you suffer with constant back pain it may be worth going back to your doctor. I hope you get it sorted

Hi Sharon ((((huggs))))
With out X-rays or a CT scan, it would be hard to say if something is going on with your spine causing you pain.
It is possible that if you have an Old injury to your back you may be getting some Arthritis. Until you know for sure, I have something you can try, you can do this while laying down in bed. Lay flat on your back. Now raise your left knee up towards your chest. Hold your left knee with both hands. Now gently pull it towards your chest
and hold that position for a few minutes. Slowly release and lower your left leg. Now repeat this with your right
leg, hold that stretch for a few minutes. See if you can do at least 5 on each side and work up higher as you feel
able to. Hope that helps your back pain, as for the kidney stones, they can cause pain due to the inflammation
and stone position. I drink cranberry & lemon juice which seems to help the bladder and kidneys. I also use Herbs. For kidneys, I take Chanca Piedra and for inflammation, I take Tumeric Curcumin with black pepper extract. Just a word of caution, we know when something is not right with our bodies. If the Pain becomes too much, and no stones are passing, please get to the emergency room. Best wishes to You ~ Faith
