First timer

Woke up around 4:30am Friday morning with extremely sharp pain that ended up sending me to the ER. They did a CT scan and told me I’ve got a small kidney stone (1.4 mm).

Since then it’s mostly been wave-like discomfort instead of constant pain. No fever, no nausea, no burning when I pee. I’ve been drinking a lot of water and using a strainer, but I still haven’t seen anything pass yet.

They want me to follow up with a urologist, but I’m just trying to get a feel for what other people experienced with something this small.

How long did yours take to pass? Did you always actually see it in the strainer or is it pretty common to miss it?

Also kind of curious if the “waves” of pain usually mean it’s moving or just hanging out somewhere. I hope to never experience that pain ever again. I’m a female.
