Hey (32f). 5 kidney stones for me over the last 4 years. Back in January I had a cystoscopy where they broke them up & suctioned the pieces out. 2 weeks ago I got a CT ahead of my follow-up just to confirm I didnt have any more. I didnt.
Yesterday I was just doing stuff around the house when this awful pain hit my left side out of nowhere. It doesnt hurt or burn when I pee and the color looks normal. The pain is still hanging around in my lower left side. It feels just like my old stones did, but is one even able to grow in 2 weeks??

Stone Fighter #857783Sep 10, 2026Yeah, a stone can technically grow pretty quick, especially if y’re somebody who already tends to make them. But real talk, if yor CT 2 weeks back came back totally clear, it’d be pretty odd for a brand new one to already be causing this much pain unless it’s tiny & on the move. Could just as easily be a muscle thing, spasms, leftover irritation from the procedure, or a small stone/fragments that got overlooked because they were too tiny to catch at the time. Stone pain can also kick in befo...
Stone Fighter #D338D6Sep 10, 2026Nope, 2 weeks isnt enough time for one to form. I’m with Total_Formsl2769 on the other causes — everything listed there is completely plausible.
