I have a 5mm kidney stone ... i m wondering how painful will it be when it will pass on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some...: Generally speaking, a stone 4 mm will never pass. At times, one may pass a stone up to 10-12 mm. So, talk with the attending urologist so to map out a reasonable expectation to manage stone attack since a full answer cannot be given in 400-letter space.
