Can you suggest medication to help pass this kidney stone naturally without surgery? I've been taking the attached meds but wondering if there are better options or if I should stick with the current ones

Over-the-counter pain medications, like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB), acetaminophen (Tylenol), or naproxen (Aleve), can help you endure the discomfort until the stones pass. Your doctor also may prescribe an alpha blocker, which relaxes the muscles in your ureter and helps pass stones quicker and with less pain

I accidentally sprayed Moov on my leg for muscle pain, but some of it got on my testicle. Could this be harmful, or could it cause an allergic reaction there? I'm really worried about any possible side effects.

My dad's ultrasound found 3 kidney stones around 10mm in his left kidney and a 9mm gallstone. His feet stay swollen all the time but no pain yet. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if stones this big can be treated without surgery and how long the removal process usually takes
