My question was - can coming off flomax (tamsulosin) after the stone passes cause bladder spasming result from coming off flomax (tamsulosin)? stone passed - still bladder pain

Yes, if...: If voiding symptoms are related with stones, yes, you should be able to be off Flomax (tamsulosin) - a alpha-blocker. However, few elderly men like to keep it on because they incidentally noticed Flomax (tamsulosin) help improve their already quietly impaired urine flow. For details, ask urologist for specifics and details.
