Speaking of a heat pack, my last stone was horrible. I tried to take a bath in hot water and had to get out .. the heat made things even worse. As if 20 on a scale of 1-10 for pain wasn't bad enough!

Hello kidneychick, Are you saying that because of your two experiences with kidney stones in the past that you are sure your lower right back pain now is a kidney stone or has a physician taken an X Ray or Cat Scan and seen a kidney stone? I'm just curious on how you can determine it's definitely a kidney stone causing your pain. I'll admit that the pain from a kidney stone is pretty bad, having had at least over 35 myself, but a heat pack doesn't even begin to help me with my pain from one. I need to take pain meds and most likely go to an ER for stronger pain killers to get through one. I guess that's why I'm asking if you know for sure it's a stone causing you the pain you now have.
