How are you ? did you pass the stone?
Thinkng of you .......... C~
Whatever you do, do NOT stop going to urinate if you need to go.
You will not know if you have a kidney stone if this does not move.
If a stone starts to move, you will experience pain, possibly have a high fever, feel like vomiting or have nausea, have diarrhea, your urine will look dark may have visible blood, or may be clouding indicating that there is an infection.
You must keep drinking. 2-3 litres of water per day is recommended to be drunk daily, more if you are sweating a lot or working out. Sometimes a urologist may tell you to drink more. Do not drink more than that because an overdose of water can be just as dangerous as getting dehydrated.
When you urinate and have a problem, not only will the urine be abnormal (not light straw coloured) but may have a smell like offal (kidneys, liver).
The pain in your left lower abdomen may be from renal colic or may be from bowel problems.
If you have had kidney stones in the past, the likely chance of you getting them again is increased.
It is only by having an ultrasound scan or other forms of xrays that you would know if you have a kidney stone or not. If they do not move you will experience no problem at all.
Kidney stone problems and infections would also give you pain in the side on the back or front depending on which kidney is affected.
You can urinate in a see through glass jar and if you do see any sediment or your urine is cloudy, they make an appointment with your doctor and get your urine sample tested for any infections.
Sometimes kidney stones can be very small like a grain of sand and will pass through the urethra without any medical intervention. When this happens you will probably feel a lot of pain as it passes out.
Best wishes.
