Renal Colic

Renal colic is usually a symptom of renal or ureter stone, causing a sudden attack with the most sharp and cutting pain in the kidney region, in the back just below the ribs or in the corresponding region in the front. The pain radiates downward to the groin and the testicle in the male or vaginal lips in the female. The kidney region will feel very sensitive to touch. The patient moves about restlessly seeking relief.
