That Pain in Your Back—What Is It, Really?
We’ve all felt it—that dull ache or sharp stab in the lower back. But how do you know if it's a muscle strain, bad posture, or something more serious like a kidney stone?
If you're a woman between 35 and 55 with a sedentary lifestyle, you're likely already familiar with back discomfort from long hours of sitting. But kidney stone pain is a different kind of beast—and knowing the difference can help you get the right treatment fast.
Let’s break it down.
First, Let’s Talk About Typical Back Pain
Back pain from sitting, poor posture, or minor injuries usually:
-
Develops gradually over time
-
Feels like a dull ache or tightness
-
Gets worse after sitting for long periods
-
Improves with stretching, movement, or support cushions
💡 Tip: Ergonomic seat cushions and back supports (like BOD Support’s memory foam options) can greatly reduce posture-related back pain.
What Do Kidney Stones Feel Like?
If you’re wondering what do kidney stones feel like, here are some hallmark signs:
✅ Sharp, Stabbing Pain
-
Kidney stone pain is often described as intense, cramping, or stabbing.
-
It usually begins in the side or lower back and can radiate to the abdomen or groin.
✅ Sudden Onset
-
Unlike posture-related back pain, kidney stone pain can come on quickly and severely, often waking you up at night or making it impossible to sit still.
✅ Pain That Comes in Waves
-
The pain can come and go in waves as the stone moves through the urinary tract.
-
You may feel moments of relief, followed by intense pain again.
✅ Accompanying Symptoms
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Frequent urination or feeling the urge to go
-
Burning sensation during urination
-
Blood in the urine (pink or reddish tint)
Quick Comparison Guide: Kidney Stone vs. Back Pain
| Symptom | Kidney Stone | Back Pain (Postural/Muscular) |
|---|---|---|
| Type of pain | Sharp, cramping, severe | Dull, achy, or tight |
| Onset | Sudden, intense | Gradual |
| Location | Side, lower back, may radiate to groin | Lower back, may extend to hips or legs |
| Triggers | Movement of the stone, not activity-based | Poor posture, prolonged sitting, lifting strain |
| Relief | Difficult to relieve without medication | Improves with stretching, posture support |
| Other symptoms | Nausea, blood in urine, painful urination | Stiffness, soreness, fatigue |
When to Call Your Doctor
You should seek medical attention immediately if:
-
The pain is sudden, severe, and unrelenting
-
You notice blood in your urine
-
You’re vomiting or unable to urinate
-
Over-the-counter meds don’t relieve the pain
What to Do in the Meantime
If you suspect back pain (and not a kidney stone), here’s how to support your body:
✅ Use a memory foam seat cushion to reduce pressure on your lower spine
✅ Support your lower back with an ergonomic lumbar pillow
✅ Take frequent standing or stretching breaks

Final Thoughts
Understanding the difference between kidney stone pain and regular back pain is crucial—especially for women living a sedentary lifestyle. If your symptoms match the intense, radiating pain of a kidney stone, don’t wait to seek care.
But if your back is aching from hours at a desk or behind the wheel, ergonomic support may be your best friend. Either way, your comfort and health matter—and now you know how to tell the difference.
