Can urgent care test for kidney stones?

Suddenly, I got this sharp, excruciating pain in my lower back, and I'm worried it might be kidney stones. I want to know if an urgent care center can conduct the necessary tests, like an ultrasound or urine test, to confirm this condition quickly.

I am actually experiencing some mild pain in my side and I am quite nervous about it. Can urgent care clinics do the test on the same day, or do we have to wait a long time for the results?

They definitely can. When I had my stone, they checked my urine and found blood in it immediately, which confirmed the culprit. Go get it tested before you start climbing walls from the pain!

Yes, they can! I went to a local diagnostic clinic last year when I had lower back pain, and they did a quick scan to find a 4mm stone. It's very simple and much faster than getting a hospital appointment.

Drinking barley water can help with minor burning, but if the pain is severe, you must go to a clinic. They can do a quick urine test or ultrasound to confirm if it is a stone. Please see a doctor first.
