A pain commonly caused for kidney stone is known as Renal colic. This pain typically begins in the kidney area or below it and radiates through the flank until it reaches the bladder. Colic is a misnomer because renal colic pain tends to remain constant, whereas colic implies pain that is somewhat intermittent and often comes in waves, such as in biliary colic.
This renal colic pain has two varieties dull and acute; the acute variation is particularly unpleasant and has been described as one of the strongest pain sensations felt by humans. The pain depending on the type and sizes of the kidney stones moving through the urinal tract the pain may be stronger in the renal or bladder area or equally strong in both.
