Stones cause pain: How do you know you have a blockage? I suspect you had a study that showed "hydronephrosis". Blockages of the ureters, which connects each kidney to the bladder are serious and can be caused by different things. Almost always a kidney stone does cause significant pain. But other things can cause blockages. This problem needs exploration before you get sick or your kidney is damaged.

See a urologist: Stones usually only hurt when they are moving. It could be a stone a tumor or other cause.
