Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Some of the possible treatment for kidney stones are:
1) Pain relief may require narcotic medications.
2)) Lithotripsy. It uses sound waves to break up large stones so they can more easily pass down the ureters.
3) surgery
I suggest to do a physical examination at an urologist for further evaluation and specific treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
