How To Pass A Kidney Stone
I just found out i had a kidney stone and they told me it should pass in 4-6 hours. Other than drinking water, what can i do to make it pass faster and does it hurt?

From my family’s experience with kidney stones, the pain is worse when the stone is passing through the uretha into the bladder, so you’re probably experiencing the worst of the pain now. Actually passing it out of the bladder doesn’t hurt as bad. It depends on which type of stone you have as to other things you can do to help it pass. My DH has uric acid stones, and lemon juice helps his pass quicker. Here’s a good general link with other suggestions:
