6mm Stone stuck in the kidney, the urge to urinate every 5 minutes. The stone has not hit the bladder yet, I will be getting it blasted in 4 weeks. Im a school teacher who is struggling to work leaving the room every so often.

Is there any advice on drinking or foods to avoid?

Anyone been in this Predicament before?

Stuck in the kidney or ureter?? If it’s in the kidney, you shouldn’t really have those urinary symptoms. I also work in a school and have a few 3mm ones in my ureter and drink so much water so I’m using the bathroom a lot. Luckily I have other adults in my classroom all day or idk what I would do.

Its stuck in the kidney. I had a cystocopy last Monday, it was not evident in the ureter or the bladder.
