A member asked:
Is it always painful to pass kidney stones, even if they are broken up into tiny fragments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always painful: If stone fragents are very small. This can happen if stone breaks up in the ureter or after shockwave lithotripsy. May well be associated with some discomfort but not nesessarily pain.
