Hi, ureteric stones of size 12mm is difficult to pass out.
Treating with only medications will not provide god outcome.
You have not mentioned type and position of the stone now, as higher the stone, difficult to pass out.
I am of the opinion that you consult urologist immediately and get the complete work up done with him.
Getting an intervention at an early stage will help a lot.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
