Kidney Stone Pain

The pain that kidney stones cause is compared to getting stabbed in the back with a sharp knife, and then twisting it for a few seconds... then repeating it a few times without warning every so often.

The reason they cause so much pain is due to the razor-sharp, jagged edges that most stones have. When the stones try to pass through the kidney's ureter, they cause extreme pain, and can damage the organ.
