A member asked:
Are there treatments available to destroy the stone and cause virtually no pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ques unclear: The question depends on where the stone is and if you are pregnant or not. You may want to restate the question specifying kidney stone or gall stone to get a better answer.

What stone?: Need more information. Kidney stones can sometimes be treated by shock wave therapy. Gallstones are only treated with surgery if they are causing you problems as only gallbladder removal will stop gallstones from returning.
