I am 31 and I have a history of passing kidney stones ever since I was 12. I am currently at what feels like the end of passing a kidney stone. My job requires a doctors note but I don’t go to the ER for kidney stones unless it’s stuck or hurts more than usual. I feel stupid going to the ER after I feel like I passed the stone but I absolutely have to have a doctors note. Is this a bad idea on my end? What do I do? Should I lie about what’s wrong with me when I call in and hope they don’t ask for a note? I’m so stressed and I’m hurting so bad right now
