I have been diagnosed with kidney stones. Is it possible that when I move a lot the stones "move"?

Because every time I move or exercise I get a backache on my right side (or I have my stone)

Hello Ma'am,

Yes, it is possible. Stones are usually mobile in the kidney, which can cause some type of exertion to momentarily increase the pain.

Good day :)
