What Is The Pain In My Waist With Kidney Stones?

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.

Hi,
You get radiating pain in front due to renal colic.
This is quite common.
Stone in kidney what ever its size will hurt kidney while movements will give renal colic producing pain.
If it remains in kidney, in future might cause damage in kidney.
Consult Nephrologist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
