The most common of urinary stones is the
€calcium oxalate stone€. These are speckled, mace like and barbed stones which
stick and cut on their way out of the kidney after being dislodged. This sounds
scary, but usually isn't very painful, although, sometimes very uncomfortable.
Uric acid and other stones can do this too.
What you should understand is that the
greeters, the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder, although very
tough, and can withstand squashing and stabbing, do not do well with
distension. If a stone lodges somewhere in this tube on its way down, the result
is urinary distension behind the stone and excruciating pain described by some
women, as intense as the pain of end stage labor contractions! This condition
is called €hydronephrosis€ and is the real center of kidney stone pain.
