Visit your PCP: By visiting er and/or taken pain medications, you treat the symptom and not the cause of your disease. Rec.: see your primary care physician for evaluation, imaging and treatment or referral to the urologist.

Specializes in Anesthesiology

Normally,: When you have kidney stones the will pass with time and you need analgesics to deal with the pain. Follow the instructions you were given. Sometimes the stone will not pass, might cause obstruction and or an infection and becomes dangerous and you might require surgery or lithotripsy.
