Dear patient,
I do understand your concern.
Pain from kidney stones usually starts either late at night or early in the morning. This is because people generally urinate less frequently at night or in the early morning, and the ureter is usually constricted during the night and in the morning.
For the pain I recommend ibuprofene 4 times a day after meals.
All the best,
Dr. Eni
