Kidney Stone: Deborah, you have had a kidney stone before. If this feels like a stone then you should probably be seen. If you are not sure then you could probably wait. If you are having symptoms of a urinary infection with frequent urination, pain with urination, cloudy or bloody urine then you should be seen as well.
