Kidney stone colic pain
A kidney stone is a solid concretion or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals in the urine. Kidney stones can form within the kidney, within the ureter (the tube draining urine from the kidney) or in the bladder. They can be many different sizes and shapes. A stone that is stuck in a kidney may cause pain in the side of the abdomen. When kidney stones start to develop, the pain associated with it is called Renal Colic. The pain is usually in the area of the kidney or below and goes down to the bladder.

You may sweat or feel sick due to the pain.
