Kidney stones are hard substances like uric acid crystals, that don't get flushed out with your urine. If you drink enough fluids, and I don't mean soda or coffee, you shouldn't have that problem. It can be very painful to pass a kidney stone. Passing out as a result of it is not unheard of.

Is there a way I can kind of tell where my kidney stone is? Maybe by the area where it hurts? or something.
