Good idea: Go back to ER. They can at the least give you something for pain. Kidney stones are painful when they are moving down the ureter. The stones must descend into the bladder to leave the body and until that happens they can hurt.

First try to reach: the doctor that ER doctor referred you to see after your previous ER visit ( urologist ) , if unable to reach then go to ER
