 Kidney stones are particles formed from acids and salts in your urine that can develop into stones causing shooting pain in your back or lower abdomen.

Kidney stone pain: Typically occurs when a stone moves through the kidney or its transition to the ureter (a tube that connects the kidneys to the bladder). This pain stems from inflammation influenced by the stone when it either lodges itself in the tract and causes pressure or when it irritates the tract lining. The degree of pain depends on the size of the stone, its location and whether the stone is obstructing the passageways.

Common characteristics of Kidney Stone pain include:

• It is ,specifically, characterised by sudden intense, sometimes sharp, localized pain in the flank or lower back which may be referred to the abdomen or groin.

•  Chronic pain characterized by fluctuations in its severity.
