Hi,
Very likely you are having a small stone trying to find its way out and every time it moves it causes the pain because it blocks the urether (the tube that connect the kidney with the bladder).
You should drink plenty of water to flush it off and also prevent urinary infection.
Meanwhile you can take Ibuprofen 800 mg every 8 hours after food and Buscopan 10 mg 1-2 tablets every 8 hours.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
