Hi, I was told a week ago I have a kidney stone on my left side that is 18mm. I'm waiting to meet with a surgeon. My question is this: I keep having some pain (not too bad) in the front, about waist high. I thought kidney stones were felt in a persons back. Is it normal for me to experience this pain in the front? I guess another question would be if it's too big to pass, why am I experiencing any pain?
Thanks so much for any assistance,
A.B.
