Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Stones usually get stuck on their way in to the bladder from the kidney when going through the ureter. It is probable that the same thing is happening with you. The stone has left the kidney and is stuck mid way in the ureter. In such a time there is lot of pain and the patient is advised to drink lots of water and fluids which will help to flush out the stone. If you have an appointment with the urologist tomorrow then you can wait for it. Going to the ER is suggested if the pain in unbearable. They will give you pain relief and go to the urologist tomorrow.

You can try drinking cranberry juice if available. Please drink lots of fluids and visit washroom regularly. Except for the pain there is nothing serious for you to go to the ER now. Please do not worry.
