Oh, you WILL know that you have a kidney stone, the moment youy're on your knees, white as a ghost, almost puking your guts out in pain.
And yes, you are fucked up; dibs on your sammich-maker, your guns and your cowboy hat.  (I'm a greedy mo-fo)

My normal course of action is a bunch of distilled water and aspirin... when that fails and I'm curled up rolling around in a fetal position and onto my knees...
I bite the financial bullet, head to the ER, get a shot or two of Toradol which doesn't get you high. Ask for it specifically they'll know you aren't a dope seeker. 5-10 mins later.. /fixed

Dilauded is your new best friend. Gallstones are a magnitude greater in pain and fuckery that pissing a kidney stone is a relief in a gallstone attack. |

I've had a lot of things happen through the years, broken bones, broken back, hit on the head with an 18 inch pipe wrench that fell 16ft, to name a few but nothing, I REPEAT, NOTHiNG is as painful as a kidney stone. Maybe going through labor but I don't have to worry about that, I'm to old 
Good luck OP, I pray all goes well and you pass it quickly. |

Took two months to pass mine.
Slept on the couch, so I could roll off the couch into the floor, then crawl to the bathroom and puke. When asked, I described the pain as feeling like somebody was trying to remove my kidney with a dull spoon. Turned out that I had a kidney infection, in addition to the stone. Go to the doctor. |

I've had a shit ton of kidney stones, and while everyone is effected a bit differently , the "bumpy roads made it hurt" was a bit strange. I've also never really had heinous pain that started basically instantly. usually, for me anyway, it builds up and then plateaus in shitville. It's possible it's something else. Best to go see a dr.
Also, to gall stone guy, kidney stones can do the same thing. About half of mine the "attack" starts with a shit ton of vomiting...like every couple of minutes for an hour with lots of dry heaving once the stomach is empty. I've had 8-10 regular lithos and 3 neph tube lithos. Passed a lot the old fashioned way too. I've had over 100 of them total, including a couple of golf ball sized mother fuckers. Started when I was 17. Actually pissed blood at MEPS and almost didnt get to go in the Marines because of it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

What I get after the stone leaves the kidney is a shooting pain that starts on the flanks of the tummy area and flies all the way down the tube to the tip of the penis. Fucking hurts, and comes in waves. In that sense it's better than the constant back pain that came before, but the shit fucking sucks, no way around it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I remember the time I "thought" I had one lol. It was right before date night where I felt lower back pain. Took a chick to the movie, had to go to the restroom real bad half way through, but when I got in there, everything locked up. Couldn't go, nothing. The third time I tried after the movie, and all I remember is going to the stall, getting dizzy, terrible pain, fell to the floor at some point, etc. I walked out like 15 minutes later and somehow drove myself to the ER. Not a good night at all.

Hopefully it just goes away. Lots of water. Soak in a hot shower/tub. More water. Then more water. Lay off the Mountain Douche. Try jumping and landing hard (stiff legs) to jar the thing down. You really do need to make the time to go to a urologist though. |

Hook you up to fluids until you piss it out. Ive never been there for more than 6 hours. Take a book, or a tablet/phone |

If it's too big to pass you can actually die from it. No shit. Kidney can bust, cause sepsis, etc. If you think you have a stone you need to get to the ER and get a CT scan. If it's small enough to pass...buy gallon jug of water, drink that shit as fast as possible. Should pass in a couple hours or so. BUT YOU NEED A DOCTOR TO TELL YOU IF ITS SMALL ENOUGH TO PASS.
Oh and sometimes an appendicitis can mimic a kidney stone. Untreated = death. Seriously go to the ER. ETA: I've passed 4-5 stones and I'm 31. I also work in a hospital. These things aren't to be fucked around with unless you've had a scan of your kidneys and know the size. |

Side Note: Back in the day, and probably still, hospitals had something called "charity care" as in if you are broke, and uninsured they would write the bill off and not screw up your credit ect. ASK the billing dept. later, stop in and chat to the lady. Your best bets would be a Catholic or Presbyterian hospital. take your ass in. |

I tried to describe how mine felt to my wife. Imagine a baseball bat with a long, sharp nail sticking out of the end. Now imagine someone swings it at your kidney as hard as they can. That's what it felt like. It took my breath away when it hit, and I was unable to stand for three days, having to get help from my wife or pull myself up with a chair.
I thought I had thrown my back out, severely. Enough that I thought I was going to need physical therapy, because I'd never experienced back pain like this. And then suddenly the agony disappeared. My back was still very, very sore, but not agonizing. I went to pee, and felt something zipping out of me, like I had peed out a shard of glass. And then the blood started. A lot of bleeding. And then I realized I had passed a kidney stone. You do need to see a doctor. I went to the ER and was referred to a urologist, who did extensive urinalyses and x-rays, and helped me make changes to prevent anymore kidney stones. I hope I never get another one. I drink a shit ton of water now. |

Hopefully it just goes away. I think everyone has a different experience with stones - I haven't had ball pain, it's worst for me when the stone is leaving the kidney. Pulsing pain that seems to last a day or two, can't shit, and urge to piss fairly constantly. I piss the thing out a week later. Can't say that the pain is made any worse by activity... just when it hits - it's there until the stone moves. You know when something isn't right, and that's when you go to the Dr. or ER... but I'll add that if you are pissing blood, that's a good sign to go to the Dr. If you stop pissing or are pissing brown/very little then get to the ER right fucking now. |

I had more pain in the front low left, but it moved between back and front. Seemed to flair up a little while after eating. No pee pain, and no visible blood in pee. Didn't think it was kidney stone because of that. But when I woke up feeling like my intestines were pouring sewage into my gut, I headed for the ER.
5 hours in the waiting room (Friday night) they took me back to a room, got a CT scan and told me size, risk, etc. Gave me a shot of Toradol and the pain was gone 10 mins later...that was the end of the pain. My part of the bill was $3600 (Blue Cross), which I paid cash so they reduced to $2500 |

Had one more than a week ago. Its amazing something so small can cause so much pain.
After a day of agony and puking I went to the ER got some Toradol and a little Morphine IV and a scan. took 5 days to pass it, Hydrocodone didn't help at all for pain. Haven't go the bill yet but I have good insurance. |

Bladder pain possibly from lack of water passing through the one side. When I had mine 11mmx8mm I had enough pain that my leftover loratabs fron a shoulder repair were puked up and I couldn't buckle a seat belt much less drive a manual transmission to the er.
Stuck 4" from bladder and urologist said it almost ripped through the lining. |

They can do something about them. I had one that was more than 5 mm. The Dr. went in and took it out, and put in a stent. Ask for the hard core pain killers. You bleed for a day or two, but relief is worth it.

Go get a CT scan to see how big the bugger is.
If you can pass it - yay! If you can't - Oh man... If you don't get it checked and it's too damn big, you are in for a world of hurt as it progresses - or possibly plugs your stuff all up and festers. Good luck man. They suck. |
