Stones: A good rule of thumb when you have been diagnosed with kidney stones - it is okay to be uncomfortable while passing a stone, even if you are taking pain medications. However, you should go to the er if you meet any of these criteria: 1. Your pain cannot be controlled with the prescription pain meds. 2. You are vomiting so much that you can't drink or keep down your meds. 3. You have a fever- 101f.
