Cramps or kidney stone?

La

last night I had such severe pain in my left side I wanted to die! I’d only felt that pain once before and it turned out to be a a kidney stone. The only difference is I had plenty of warning. I felt like I had to owe all the time and ended up with a towel between my legs for days due to leaking before the pain actually hit me. This time didn’t happen. I took some pain meds and a hot pit and slept. Well I’m awake and the pain is gone. So we’re they the worst cramps in my 29+ years or kidney stones?? Either way I’m going to the doctor when I get home if not sooner. Oh yeah, Merry Christmas mad!!!
