Big stones: Try to keep your urine pale all the time. This is good advice and hopefully will keep things under control.

See my remark: How big is the stone,in milimeters ? small stones may pass spontaniously.What is your problem ? why aren't you drinking fluids ? Drink 6-7 glasses of fluid a day. Include 2 glasses of lemonade.
