Re: Pain after kidney stone passes?

I had a kidney stone a few years ago. Didn't have insurance at the time and thought it was kidney infection or sore muscles. I started drinking cornsilk tea which is a natural antibiotic for the kidneys. Then pain moved so I knew it had to be a stone. It only bothered at night when lying down. Have no idea what size it was but the morning I passed it I had excruciating pain. I kept up with the cornsilk tea for another week in case scratching might set up infection, but I didn't have any pain or soreness once I got rid ot it.
