I've been dealing with really painful kidney stones - an 18mm one on the left side and a 3.3mm one on the right. The pain comes and goes but it's pretty intense when it flares up. Is there any way to get relief without having to go through surgery? What would be the best treatment options for stones this size?

You can pick from options like 1. Surgery ( most effective), 2. Extracorporeal short wave lithotripsy ( ESWL) in which there are no cuts involved. Medicines would not be effective except for relieving pain
