Describe why stones are painful
Stones that are small may easily pass through the ureters and out of the body in the urine. Large stones cannot pass easily through the ureters, and when they move they produce a sharp, stabbing pain. The pain usually starts in the back and intensifies as the stone follows the path of the ureter down the abdomen toward the groin. Once in the bladder, pain subsides.
