Yes: ER should provide pain relief at a minimum. Renal stones can cause severe pain and there is no need to put up with it. Please go the ER.

Yes, go to the ER: They can definitely and quickly control the pain of passing a kidney stone in the emergency room. It is concerning that you are having trouble going to the bathroom, too. Go to the ER for best results. I wish you the very best.
