My son just turn 17 years old and we found out that he has kidney stones. He always get pain after running in P.E. later in the afternoon Does running complicate the kidney stones worse with pain?

Good Day!
Kidney stones in the pediatric age group would always be a metabolic abnormality. Meaning they're body is producing an excess of a stone forming substance that's why they get it at an early age. (e.g cystine) These patients needs to be worked up and once what the abnormality is determined then we can prescribe a proper diet for him. In terms of exercise there is not much restrictions and stones in the kidney would not cause any pain or discomfort unless a stone is lodged in the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder (ureter) and causes obstruction.
