Female 55 yrs. Whet to the E.R with pain in early January. Scan showed 4mm stone in my ureter just above my bladder.
3 weeks later urologist did ultra scan and said it had not moved since the E.R. scan. He said if I had not
passed in it 2 weeks he was going in and get it. He told me they caused pain when they were stuck. I told
him I had not had any pain since the E. R. visit. He said it was a calcium stone because he could see it on the ultra sound. I never went back. I strained my urine for 2 months and then
quit doing it. For the last couple of weeks I have a twinge of pain in my side but it is only about a 2 on the scale 1-10. It does not last but few minutes and kind of a burning sensation.sometimes I fell a little nausea. I think it is still there. I do not have the
down time for surgery and have never had any procedures before. I do not want to have surgery if it is not
absolutely necessary. How do I know if it is necessary? Can I just leave it there? Can I do anything to move it along or break it up. What will happen if I just leave it.
