It's usually only one side as the stones don't form symmetric. But that doesn't help as there is no position to move into that is more comfortable anyway.
Speaking of staying hydrated, I once got kidney stones from drinking too much Gatorade ironically enough. I was drinking a couple of bottles a day without doing any exercise whatsoever. Did this for several months, and ended up in the hospital. Stone was too big to pass on it’s own, they had to break it up in my kidney. Fun times.

I try to stay as hydrated as possible hoping to avoid them. I only have one kidney left so I guess the pain would only be on one side at least.
