Slept on and off yeaterday and last night. Today have body aches and very weak. Never had all this with first two kidney stones. Is it normal? Almost feels lol he the flu.
Brief Answer:
The stone could stuck.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Most of kidney stones passes freely without any serious complications. However some of stones can stuck in the kidney or ureter. If this happens, the urine can not flow freely. This results with kidney infection and can lead to kidney degeneration.
So it would be reasonable to have kidneys ultrasound done and urine analysis to rule out such possibility. Please consult your doctor and have this tests done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

They took blood work and did a ct scan in er. The pain from stone is gone. My body just aches all over now and I'm really weak.
Brief Answer:
Urine analysis should be done any ways.
Detailed Answer:
What is your heart rate and do you have fever? Do you urinate frequently? Du you have burning while urinating?
If your heart rate is accelerated (over 100), you have fever or problems while urinating, kidney infection is still probable. Therefore you should have urine analysis done any ways.

Than it seem to be not that serious. General weakness is a pretty common after passing the stone and suffering for 2 days. Same with body aches. So you may wait and see if this will go away. Have rest and drink plenty of liquids.
