Hi Nat,
Sorry for my tardy response. This is an old thread and belongs to someone else, Old threads aren't as "visible" as new ones and do not get the responses they deserve.
If your SX are the same as the original poster - I have the same thoughts. It sounds like kidney stones to me.
I, my mom and my brother have all had these nasty stones. I've had more than I can count. I use to go to the ED. Now I know the spasmodic pain of kidney stones and treat it myself in most instances.
I encourage you to consult your PMP and get a true DX (diagnosis). Just because I think you may have kidney stones doesn't mean that is what you are experiencing. Pain is our body's way of telling us something is wrong. Listen to it and get a DX.
Please let us know how you are doing - but please do begin a new thread. Just click on Post a Question. It'll walk you through initiating your own thread.
Be aware that we do have a Kidney Stone Forum too. Please know that you are always welcome here - but I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't inform you that there are options to our Chronic Pain Forum. There is a great Community Leader in the Kidney Stone Forum. If you are DX with Kidney Stones you may find this community helpful.
Here's the link:

I'll look forward to hearing how you are doing.
Best of Luck!
