Severe pain in back,: Flank or groin, blood in urine, passage of "gravel" in urine. Pain is related to degree of urinary blockage. You need pain medication & a urologist for relief. Small stones can pass on their own. Passage can be facilitated by taking flomax, (tamsulosin) which can dilate the ureter and make passage easier. Urologist may place temporary stent or perform ureteroscopic extraction. Larger stones need eswl or pcnl.
