When should I go to the doctor for kidney pain?

As soon as possible because if it is stone pain, there is always the possibility of the stone stopping the urine flow from one side and damaging the kidney on that side. Also, kidney pain is usually pretty intense and no need to suffer.

Yes, you could be having a kidney stone, infection, or other issue that needs to be treated.
