Here are some…: Anyone with unbearable pain and chill feeling during the course of passing a stone should seek professional evaluation right away because of possibly developing superimposed urinary tract infection about blockage by stone. So, don't wait and go to emergency room or urgent care right now. Best wish…

Kidney stone: Going to the ER for care may hasten passage, yes. What is needed is high fluid intake and through put, up to 4 liters per day. You can do this orally. An IV can speed the process. If pain is high, and if nausea vomiting are present, then ER help becomes essential. Imaging is not essential at this point. Ultimately, you want and need this stone to pass or be removed within 1-2 weeks at most.
