Ouch I'm sorry it sounds like you've had a rough go of it. If i were you the very first thing i would do is obtain a copy of your radiology report. Ive had tons of ct's and I've made it my own personal practice. It should state the location of the stone in the kidney as well as the size. If its in the lower pole of the kidney its less likely to try to pass anytime soon but you never know. As long as its 5mm or smaller it is usually passable although the smaller it is the better the odds. Im guessing it wasn't terribly large or the dr probably would've mentioned it but again you never know thats why i always ask for a copy myself. You get that report and it should give you the answers you need. Good luck!
