A 1.5 cm kidney stone causing frequent pain may require surgical intervention, depending on its location and how it's affecting your urinary flow. While medication can help with pain management and potentially assist in passing smaller stones, it's unlikely to resolve a stone of that size without other treatments.

I'm dealing with tight foreskin where I can pull it back normally when soft, but during an erection it's really painful and tight around the head almost like a burning sensation. I'm not sure if my frenulum is tight too. Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

It sounds like you may have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully and comfortably. This can cause pain and discomfort during erections, potentially from a tight frenulum as well. Non-surgical treatments can help, including topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises
