I had a strange sudden lower back internal pain that grew by the minute. I described it to my friend after 2 hours and she told me that it was exactly like her kidney stone pain a while back. So I rushed to find a nearby urologist. By hour three, in his waiting room, I could not sit down and could only pace the floor with an impolite pained expression on my face.
When the doctor finally saw me, he was very wary with me. He said I wasn't perspiring heavily so it shouldn't be a kidney stone. He kept looking at me very suspiciously. He offered to give me a shot of morphine, and I said I was afraid to take it all alone; I'd better call my husband. I could hear him from around the corner saying something about me seeming suspicious and not to give me very much.
Eventually he did send me home with a prescription for what Rush was using, but miraculously the pain vanished later that night and I STILL have that bottle of meds, untouched, in my cabinet. I should go back and show that doctor! He made me feel like a junkie.
Sounds like it could also be a possible gallstone attack, which is unrelated to kidney stones. Eating foods high in fat content can trigger any stones that have developed in your gall bladder. The stones can become lodged in the bile duct or the common duct, which causes VERY severe pain that can increase for several hours. This can be dangerous if the stones are not able to pass on through the ducts.
Be aware that once you have a gallstone attack, you will likely continue having them at seemingly random times in the future. Time between attacks can vary from just a few days to weeks, months, even years.
You should talk to your regular doctor about this.

Yes, take it back to him! Idiot, Doctor. The problem is that people like Rush make it hard for people to get pain relief..that really need it.
He knew that he could lose his license for inappropriately prescribing narcotics. It is not always an easy call for the doctor, but he certainly should have done a better job of hiding his uncertainty about you.
