Lie on your stomach.  It seems simple but I was in horrible pain and went in for a CT Scan.  The tech said several kidney stone sufferers felt better when they lay down on their stomach for the scan.  I did and it worked!! I was almost pain free within half an hour.  Went in for surgery that night in pain again after being upright a while. Back on my stomach during prep and pain went away.  Hope it works for you.

    Another tip i can give you is vibration. Anything that vibrates (ahem) and put it on the sore area. Defintely helps a lot.

    Thank you every little helps.

    I find a hot water bottle is really helpful but not great in this really hot weather!!

    I have a large stone 29 mm. They are going to remove it surgically at the private hospital in Bristol as they have not been able to sort me ot at an NHS Hospital so they have to pay for me to have it done. No date as yet ASAP PLEASE

    Hope yours is not too painful at the moment.

    Take care and keep in touch
