Have you seen your doctor to be sure they are kidney stones? You should have gotten pain medication to deal with the pain, and another med to deal with the nausea the pain is causing. Unfortunately Kidney stones have to pass on their own, which can take days to weeks. unless your doctor has determined the stones are to big to pass in which case they would deal with them from there.

I had 5 stones in my kidney and surgically had a stent put in the ureter followed by blasting of the stones in the kidney. Dissolved, they past pain free.
Just recently another stone developed in my kidney again and I was hospitalized with pain meds and 3 1/2 liters of fluid. The stone did pass. It was so painful! They told me if it did not pass they were going to surgically take it out. I have been told if you have stones to keep an eye on your diet specifically to stay away from chocolate, nuts and colas. Drink lots of water! To me the pain of passing a stone is the worst ever!

Don't wait...get the stones out! No one should have to be in that much pain when they start to move! UGH!!!
