I have several nonobstructing nephrolithiasis, largest is 3.5 mm . should i worry? how long in furture till they start hurting? i have pain medicine

Needs follow-up: At this point it sounds like the stones are still in the kidney. They should not cause pain unless they start moving down the kidney tube (ureter). Good news is largest stone is 3.5 mm which should be passable. Would see urologist to follow stones and do tests to see why you are forming them
