A member asked:
I've had a 6mm kidney stone for over a month with side pain. could that have already caused damage? and now the pain is no longer in my side but lower
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the 6 mm stone has been in your ureter for that long, it is a problem. If the stone is actually in your kidney and nonobstructing, having in there for six weeks is not significant.
