I have been to the hospital twice in the last two years to pass stones, the last time they gave me Morphine and everything was great after frown. I know I still have some and have been trying to drink water with lemon etc. I have had pains the last two days which I recognize as possible kidney stones entering the tubes. If I get an attack is it worth going to hospital as its a long waite and if they can't give me medication should I just stay home and suck it up

I would get it checked out or call your clinic.  You never know if you are misdiagnosing it as kidney stones when it could possibly be something else.  It never hurts to check.  Best of luck and hope you are feeling better soon :)

You can still get morphine so if it feels like stones then get it checked out.  I've had them a few times and it is terrible pain so no need to tough it out, get your ass to the hospital.

Please get it checked out. Over Thanksgiving I ended up in the hospital 3 times and had 2 emergency surgeries plus another procedure, as my kidney was actually blocked.  Excruciating pain- would not have resolved on its own.

You have to be careful you don't cause further damage if it is more than a passing kidney stone...

Take care..
