A member asked:
Hi i suspect i have a kidney stone ( i have had one before 9 years ago). the pain comes and goes and is not as bad as the last one i had. should i go to my gp or is it best to go straight to er?

... See GP first...: If the pain is bearable, it might be better to see the GP first. He/She will do a thorough Physical exam and appropriate Laboratory and imaging studies and work out a more long term management/treatment and preventive care plan than a busy ER can do.
