My father, who was a physician, always said, "Don\'t look for a zebra, when a horse would do."
Point is, unless there\'s some specifc reason to assume that your pain is caused by kidney stones, I\'d look elsewhere.
Like Fang said, see what else develops...if it is just minor pain...sit through it and see how long it lasts. If in dire pain, then see a doctor. But so much backpain varieties can be caused by a million things other than calcium deposits in your kidneys.
FYI - for those worried about getting kidney stones, avoid nuts, dark-colored sodas, and high amounts of sugar.
