10 Kidney Stones Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Antalgic Position
Patients with a painful abdomen will usually try to lie as still as possible while patients with kidney stones will move around constantly as they are trying to find a position that causes the least pain. Classically, a patient with kidney stones usually writhes around in pain and is unable to lie or sit still.
While this symptom is non-specific, if taken into account with other symptoms such as pain at the renal angle that radiates down to the groin, it is likely a case of kidney stones.
