What home treatment can be done for Kidney Stones? Any alternative low cost treatments?

Was just informed after a CTR scan 3 weeks ago with results today that my occassional discomfort MAY be kidney stones. Got an appointment with the doc for next week, but what, O Questionland, can be done NOW, at home, and cheaply? Thanks.

(No, I am not incapacitated by this occassional discomfort.)

    Drink lots and lots of water. If you have kidney stones this will help flush them out, and if you don't have kidney stones it certainly won't make anything you do have any worse.

    If your kidney stones are small enough to pass without intervention the doctor will just give you a strainer to pee through and some pain medication - and tell you to drink lots of water.

    I've had good luck with acupuncture for kidney pain, so you may want to check that out as well.
