4. Kidney stones
Kidney stones could reside in your body for weeks and sometimes months before causing any problems for you. It will only start causing problems once it moves into your ureter or within your kidney. The ureter is the tube that connects the bladder and the kidney. Once it has moved into these areas, the kidney stones could cause severe pain in the back below the ribs as well as on your side.
The pain you experience could come in waves and worsen or improve from one second to the next. This is due to the fact that the stones are actively moving through your urinary tract. There are many things that could lead to the formation of kidney stones.
You’ll also have an increased risk of developing kidney stones if a relative or parent has had one in the past. If you have symptoms that align with kidney stones, you should see a doctor get a formal diagnosis and go through all the treatment options.
