23, trans man, this is probably my third or fourth stone, but the first one in a couple of years. I am so sick of the urethra pain. this actually might be worse than the back pain this time. I feel like I always need to pee but can’t pee more than a little bit. I feel like I am going insane!! It’s been like this for three days, how do yall manage this? I’m on Flomax and it helped the stone move out of the ureter I think, but this is fucking awful. I can’t focus at work because it feels like someone is stabbing my ureter every two minutes.

Stone Fighter #666C70Apr 11, 2026I feel you... this is my third one hanging out in the UVJ. Waiting on imaging. I have been miserable for a week. My longest one was in for 6 weeks, but I know others in here have went much longer. I hope it passes soon.
Stone Fighter #9910E2Apr 11, 2026Thank you and I’m sorry to you! I’m hoping this doesn’t last much longer. I had an xray that showed nothing but tbh my stones never show up on an xray so idk why my doctor ordered it and not a CT or US.
