How do i know if my 3 days of lower back pain is just temporary muscle pain that will soon pass, or if it is the beginning of me passing a kidney stone. (note, i have a history of kidney stones)?

Agree with Dr. M: Drink enough water every day so that your urine is mostly colorless. It will facilitate passage of stone if there is one and help in preventing formation of new stones. You may take acetaminophen for pain, no more than 4 gm/day, no alcohol.
