In my experience, those sizes are certainly capable of passing on their own, regardless of their location. Many people have minimal to moderate pain and discomfort with those sizes, while others still experience the typical high levels of pain. Everyone is different!

Impossible to predict without having clear assessment of your anatomy. What type of imaging study have you had? Stones that size measured via CT scan have a high probability of passing if they migrate into the ureter. Some small stones are still embedded in the papillary tip and may never move. The imaging study is the best way to clarify this for you. What country do you live in?
