Depends on stone: If stone is not obstructing the kidney, or part of it, it may not because of pain. If activity causes pain, may not be the stone. Uncommon, but if stone is uric acid, can be dissolved with fluids and urine alkalinization. A typical calcium oxalate stone that size will require shock wave treatment, or internal laser treatment thru a scope passed up to the kidney. Prevent more:fluids,lemon,lowsalt
