Been carrying around this stone for 3 weeks now. Its sitting in my ureter about a 1/2 inch from the bladder but it does not seem to be going anywhere. Been having intermitent pains for the past 3 weeks as this thing turns and blocks me up. Had an IVP done and they sent a report to my primary doctor that said there was no stone. So he called me to say "congratulations, its over." I tried to tell him that there was no way I passed this stone but he didn't believe me. So I went to a urologist. He took one look at the XRAY and saw the stone immediately! Said I had a 50% chance of passing it and wanted to give it another week. 2 days later I was blocked up and in agony for 3 hours then it went away since then I have been in extreme discomfort urinating, have had the chills and shakes. So I went back today with new Xrays. He said we could wait longer to see if it comes out or just remove it. I said to remove it.

So far in the past 3 weeks I have either been late for work or left early so many times because of this its becoming a problem. So I said to remove it. Hope I made the right choice. He said he is going to go "up there" with a scope and take a look and try to lazer it if he can otherwise he will just pull it out. He said I will have a sedative an be home that night.

Wish me luck!
