Kidney stones & infx: Many areas have clinics that base fees on sliding scale according to pt's income. In meantime, drink plenty of water & cranberry juice to keep kidneys flushed & possibly help fight infection. Hospital clinics often r willing to work out payment schedule for those who have no insurance.

Potentially bad: If problem is as stated you really do need evaluation and potential treatment. Not sure how you know you are infected unless you have seen someone already. If a stone is blocking the ureter and kidney is infected there is potential for life threatening infection. You should see doc and get a good diagnosis.
