I think you still have the stone there. Ultrasound can't see stones if they are in the second third of the ureter because of the bowels. On the other hand, some stones are not radiopaque and may be missed by CT scan. I recommend to see an urologist to see if the removal of the stone with a cystoscopic approach is needed. Let me know,
