My girlfriend has had terrible back pain for about six months.

It comes and goes, but it lingered so long that after about two months she went to get it checked out. She has had kidney infections in the past, so we thought that might be the problem. She was checked for that and cleared. She did rehab for her back muscles for a month or so and then she was cleared. She had a dye test on her kidneys and was cleared. We are at our wits end as to what this constant pain is. The yesterday she satrted to get sick, and I mean vomit sick. She had chills and enourmas pain in her back. The worst she has ever had. We took her to the emergency room, they found blood in her urine and they said it might be a kidney stone. So here are my questions:

can a kidney stone last six months?

Why wouldn't they have found it a month ago during the kindey dye test?

If it has lasted six months and still hasn't past how much longer can it go on?
