“How can I relieve kidney stone pain?”

Check with your physicians/urologist. Depends on the degree of blockage by the stone and if there is infection. Is there colicky pain? At the peak of the renal colics, the pain is intense and visiting the ER would be needed for pain control as opioids would be needed short term.

Tylenol, codeine, tramadol, lots of water. Avoid Motrin and advil.
