8. Extreme Pain in the Groin
Kidney stone pain can also be felt in the area above the pubis, as well as in the groin area. When stones travel down the ureter, they scrape and stretch the sensitive walls of the hollow tube, causing severe discomfort to patients. Kidney stone pain, when felt around the groin, is often likened by male patients to being punched or kicked in the testicles.
