A member asked:
Husband went to er, have kidney stone. no more pain but not sure if he passed it, if its still inside him can it cause damage? should he go back 2 drs

Depends: If it was in the ureter, size does matter. Less than about 4mm, most will pass. Greater than 6mm, most will not. 4-6 mm is variable. If pain returns, i would recommend follow up imaging. Usually a kidney stone protocol ct scan is done in this situation.
