Had the same thing happen a few months ago. After the CT scan, and they announced kidney stone, it was a relief...I'd been thinking worse things. Doc called me a stoic because I listed the pain as 8 on a 1-10 scale, he saying most come in screaming in agony.

Ended up getting some pain pills, some flomax, and a funnel with a screen in it to catch the stone when it passed for later analysis. I always thought they were white. Mine was as black as my mother in laws heart.

The funny part was that because it was a busy night in ER, they placed me in "the" room with a camera in the ceiling, a sign that read somethiung like: "You have been placed in this room because you are determined to be a danger to yourself and others. You are being recorded. Anything you say can be used against you." I looked straight into the camera and said; "I never met her."
