I’ve began to pass some kidney stones at home, I’ve read up on what types of treatment and tests you might get at the doctor-often it seems like they just diagnose you and then tell you to wait it out. I don’t have health insurance, and I’m seriously considering waiting it out without the help of a doctor. Besides misdiagnosis, what kinds of risks would I face if say, not all of them were able to pass?
I’m looking for answers from people with some kind of experience, no scare tactics please.

i have been to hospital three different times in one year for kidney stones is what they thought. never passed a stone last one was to be six centimeters. this time i was admitted for same reason but when they went to do surgery on what they thought was an eight centimeter stone guess what no stones, my kidney was taken over from an infection nothing but blood and puss the doctor stated. now i have a splint in my kidney and only 10 % works. The infection was from Ecoilli from bad meat no telling how long this was in my kidney.Three times before this last i have been to the emergency room for the same undescribeble pain and ech time i was sent home to pass 6 centimeters or larger kidney stones. Now i no that it is impossible to pass a stone that large.this a boils down to no medical insurance now my left kidney barely works.WHATS NEXT WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW? HELP ?

I was in the hospital for 2 days, had 2 cat scans, some drugs throughout the stay, and a stent inserted into me. That was all I had and i got a ,000 bill, this doesn’t seem right to me just from comparing what others have had done to them and their cost. I also dont have health insurance because I cant afford it.

he is just wondering if he should seek medical attention, he doesn’t have insurance so needs to know if it is serious or not. The stone passed 3 days ago but he still has pain and lite pink blood during urination ?
