Writhing in pain is an understatement. I have had two. One I passed in 2013 and one that was surgically removed 5 weeks before I raced IMAZ last year. Both of them were triggered by getting a little dehydrated the week prior.
The second one I thought I passed in August, but that was just the first sign of it. When it really decided to move along is when I had big problems. You may want to get a CT scan like Doug suggested. At least then you can have a choice.
I have been told by other people that had them, to drink lemon juice daily and it will dissolve them naturally. I have read that you should not drink grapefruit or cranberry juice as that will aggravate them. Not sure why one acidic citrus juice is better than another.

usually need a CT to make the diagnosis and decide best treatment route
are you training for an IM?
