A friend thought he had a kidney stone and it turned out to be a massive bladder infection that almost killed him. He kept trying to tough it out thinking it was a stone that would pass. Eventually a coworker of his forced him to go to the hospital. Be sure you have a stone and not an infection.

Horrifying, thank you for that.

I haven't ruled out hospital, just don't think I'm there yet. Having a hard time justifying what is sure to be 15k+ I can't afford. Hell I've been unemployed for 2 months and I'm supposed to start a job tomorrow.

Hospital isn't ideal, but I'm not dumb enough to not go.

Go somewhere man, if Hospital isn’t in your budget go to urgent care or even your normal doctor. With a hospital you pay for convenience, a doctor shouldn’t be too expensive and hopefully he or she can tell you something that alleviates/rightfully raises your concerns

I've been going through something similar thinking it's a stone, straight to the doctors for me now that I know this. Thank you so much for posting this comment.
