A 6mm kidney stone in the mid-pole of the left kidney is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While it's possible to pass a stone of this size on its own, the likelihood is significantly lower compared to smaller stones. Surgery might be recommended if the stone is causing severe pain, infection, or a blockage

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having this needle-like pain in my abdomen, mainly on the right side. I'm not sure if it's appendicitis or something else. One doctor mentioned it could be appendicitis, but another said it might just be gas. Also, I've been told I have a renal calculus that's 0.4 mm in size. What should I do next? Any advice would be great.
