A member asked:

7.5mm kidney stone.i have occasional light pain in my back.i know it has not passed.could it still just be sitting there not causing it to hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney stone: Depending on the location and duration of a stone, pain can vary. If the stone is intermittently blocking pain intensity can change. The longer the stone has been causing obstruction the lesser the intensity of the discomfort.
