How To Confirm Kidney Stone?
I thought I passed a kidney stone. My lower back and kidneys hurt very badly and later in the day the pain went away. Now everytime I eat or dring, my kidneys get sore and I get cramping in my lower abdomin. Am I just slowly passing a stone or could it be something else?
