A member asked:
Is it possible for a kidney stone to be stuck in the lower portion of the ureter without inflicting any pain? mine appears stuck(xray), w/ no symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Eagle it is possible if the stone is not obstructing the flow of the urine. Some stones do not obstruct and therefore do not cause symptoms, but they can eventually become obstructive or partially obstructive so they are often treated if they do not pass on their own.
