I've had 2 so far this year. The smaller ones get easier and I can tell when it's a biggun and I need Dr's assistance..
I've had so many, it's just routine anymore. You should be able to pass a 3mm. I've passed 3mm and didn't even know they were on deck, till they were on the way out. Bad thing is, I've had them pass in days, but some can take months. If you can't stand it, the urologist can go get it or bust it up. I've had that done too, more times than I can remember. When it gets in the bladder, you should know it. The pain changes location and duration on me, it also means I'm usually home free...
I hear ya. I've got probably a dozen or so of various sizes, most being small. But there's a couple that won't pass should they every decide to migrate. Not all kidney stones are problems, some you can live with and they never move. My urologist has me on 2 meds to cut down on my stone production, one to change PH and one to decrease Calcium release. But that's just for me, everybody is different and has different types of stones. Hope you find something that works.
