| How to tell if you have kidney stones (Posted on 2/18/13 at 1:53 pm)
When I've peed today it's been like I only have a little bit of the force I normally do plus the amout is smaller. I've drunk a ton of water and that hasn't helped. 24 year old never had one

I think massive amounts of pain is involved at some point.

If you drink plenty beer, it's probably not a kidney stone

Pissing blood and vomiting are symptoms.

if you got stones you would have back pain (severe), as well as obscene pain in urinating and probably vomiting a lot.

I had them a few months ago, and while it was painful, it was more or an uncomfortable pain. More like a contant pain in my lower back/kidney area. And then later felt like I had been kicked in the nuts, and it was constant until it passed. My wife on the other hand ended up in the hospital, and was in severe pain. It just depends on how big the stones are.

No I'm not in much pain but a guy that has a lot of them told me it could be the early stage and I'd know by tomorrow

Severe flank pain on one side or the other, usually accompanied by nausea and possibly vomiting (secondary to pain). You may notice color change in your urine, an increase in frequency, but not necessarily output. Pain may be severe enough that you cannot perform normal daily functions.
You may also have blood in your urine that may not be visible, but will show up on a specific test that is simply performed at a Clinic/Hospital.

You will know if you have one. You will cry.

Go see a urologist, or your internal Dr. They will either send you to get an MRI, or just give you a strainer.
