Kidney Stone Symptoms
my mom got a horrible pain that got increasing worse in her lower left side of her back. she then began throwing up. it’s been goin on for about 2 hours at this point. im concerned it could be her kidneys. she is a diabetic also.
any thoughts? could really use the help, she wont go the ER. I have her drinking ginger ale but i dont know what else to do. she has taken pepto and is 62 yrs old
she says sitting causes more back pain and standing makes her feel like she is going to vomit again

This could be a kidney/bladder infection which needs attention or it could be a kidney stone which needs some strong pain medication to stop it. A urine test will give the answer to both conditions. Stop giving her something to drink – let her stomach be empty until the vomiting has stopped. She should probably go to ER for pain control.
