A member asked:
Should he go to the er or his regular doctor? he hasn't went because he thinks it's kidney stones again.

Depends on level of: pain and location. If it is on right side, it could be appendicitis, so he needs to go to ER. If it is on left side, quality of pain is similar to his previous episodes, and pain level is manageable, it is probably ok to wait to see his own doctor.
