I cannot pay it off monthly either. Either way I am royally screwed if it's a kidney stone or anything else for that matter.

please tell us you are going to go to a doctor...

are there no clinics at all, where you live, for people without insurance?

It doesn't hurt bad. Sometimes its not even there.
And there is no burning feeling when I urinate. Just a light dull pain in my lower back. If it progresses any further I will go see a doctor.
yeah that was the mistake i made....if it is kidney stones by waiting you are just letting them grow bigger, and the bigger they are the more "fun" you'll have when they decide to come out 😛

If it is indeed a kidney stone it's too late now because I would not have felt it unless it broke loose. If it's a kidney stone I will have to pass it one way or another.

An ED cannot refuse you treatment just because you have no insurance. Worrying about the bills should come a distant second from worrying about your health. If this has persisted for over a week and it's NOT going away, then your body is telling you there is a serious problem here and you should seek help.

At the very least you can pay off the bill $10.00 a week if that's what it takes.. At least until you can get on your feet and pay the remaining balance.

Go get checked!
JR..

Exactly. Remember, you may be eligible to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. 😀
 
A herniation of lower GI tract, or even muscular strain of lowback could also be etiology of pain.

Search for "indigent clinic", "community health center, county healt dept clinic, asap.
 
Could be a lot of things, like others have said. From your VERY brief description I would say kidney related. (stones, infection, nephritis, blah, blah, blah)

First off, don't ask for a diagnosis on a board like this, see a doctor it could be serious...or lead to something serious.

A complete Hx would be needed, such as:
age
medications
any medical conditions
any recent trauma
sexually active
change in urination habit(s), color, odor
pain change with palpation
pain change with movement
discoloration
etc, etc, etc.

It takes a lot to figure out with abd problems, and usually lab tests are required to figure them out or eliminate things it cannot be.

See a doc...
