A member asked:

When passing a kidney stone is there anything you can do to help it move along faster and less painful?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A few things.: Tamsulosin may aid in expulsion, narcotics will reduce pain. Time will cure if the stone size is not too big and the ureters / urethra is willing.
