I’ve had a 4mm stone stuck in my ureter for a week now. doctor proscribed me with hydrocodone and ibuprofen 800s, I know this is stone is small compared to others but I truly need to know if this pad will make things bearable because nothing else is helping

Stone Fighter #775F1FMay 2, 2026Heat helped me a lot. I had a 5mm and 3mm stone. Hot showers, hot baths, heating pad were my bffs. Do a lot of jumping if you're physically able. I read that the pain is not only from the sharp stone but also because urine is getting stopped up behind it and stretching the ureter. Drink extra and lots of water. You got this!
Stone Fighter #05E835May 2, 2026I use a heating pad a lot! It doesn’t take the pain away, but it helps tremendously! No matter the size stones are painful. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. Hope heat and hydration help.
