Most likely kidney: Probably recurrent renal stones at your age. If they don't pass in 7-10 days or get dramatically worse go to the ER. An Ultrasound' will probably be the diagnostic test. The ER can't turn you away regardless of your ability to pay. You can also seek out a Free Clibic for evaluation

Depends: Well... This is a tough one. If you are in enough pain that is unrelenting then Er is a good idea. If you have had any combination of fevers/chills/nausea/vomitting that is making you unable to preform your regular day to day activities then get checked out. If the issue is mild,intermittent pain without anything that I have mentionned then you can be seen as an outpatient.
