I've got a 5.6mm stone in my right kidney and it's causing a lot of pain. It's really uncomfortable and on top of that, I'm dealing with gastric problems. What should I do? Could you recommend some good doctors for consultation? I'm worried about how to manage the pain and these digestive issues. What possible treatments are there?

I'm having a lot of discomfort on my right side and just found out I have a kidney stone. They gave me some painkillers and did an ultrasound showing it's about 3.9 mm. Is there a good chance this will pass on its own with urine? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Urologist opinion is advised to the patient.

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
