Pain from passage of kidney stones are called renal colic. They have a reputation of being known as pain worst than giving birth. A 5mm stone would have around 70-80% chance of spontaneous passage and it will increase slightly with the medicines that you are taking. Waiting time for spontaneous passage would be 2 weeks. The pain in the lower part of your abdomen means that your stone is on it's way down to the bladder. The pain is caused by the contraction of the muscles in the ureter (tube that connects the kidneys to the bladder) pushing down the stone.

If you feel that the medicines are not working or you still have severe pain you might need an emergency endoscopic removal of the stone.
