*sigh*
I have more experience w/ kidney stones than the average person. My dad suffers from them, both my sisters have had them, I've had them once---and my poor baby boy had his first @ 7 y/o (on Thanksgiving none the less!).
Sometimes soaking in a hot tub/whirlpool (or hot bath) will help w/ the pain.
drink water, cranberry juice, apple juice---but mostly water and you should get it to move. Kidney stones become a problem if they form a blockage.
Pain meds and anti-nasaeu (SP) medication (phenergan or zofran) are usually the only things that can get me past the pain. And yes, they do make you feel goofy, but the pain pills also help the body relax--which allows the structures of the kidneys (bladder, urethra, ureters) relax as well, which can help the stone(s) to pass.
(the position that I found the helped w/ the pain was on my hands and knees with my back arched like a cat...)
