Hello, I'm 22 and I've had 3 kidney stone experiences, all of them completely unbearable. The last two times something weird happened. The extreme, terrible pain would start and stay there for about an hour or so and then it would disappear. The later time the pain came back the next morning and I ended up in the hospital. This time (2 days ago), I got the extreme pain, it lasted for an hour and a half, it left and hasn't come back.

And I know the stone hasn't passed because, having experience with this condition, I know to strain my urine.

I guess my question is, how can I get the stone to start moving again? I'm drinking plenty of liquids, trying to get it moving, but nothing is happening. I really want to move the kidney stone on my terms instead of it starting to kill me again while I'm in class, at work or at dance class. Any suggestions?
