Silent kidney stones? Making me sick?

Has anyone dealt with silent kidney stones and just in general dont feel well, a lot? It seems like I always feel sick, (was starting to wonder if I have cancer). Recently I landed in the ER due to another CRAZY UTI, and found out I have a 10mm kidney stone in my left kidney, and a bunch of smaller stones in both kidneys. All of them not obstructing at this point. I have an appointment with the urologist on May 6th, but curious if anyone can tell me what to expect? Has anyone else felt ill in general and it was due to kidney stones?

I had one get to 26 mm. Silent, no pain. Destroyed 85% of one kidney...

Holy crap! 26mm! I can't even imagine that! My CT shows my 10mm has caused damage to mine already and I'm pretty scared of what is going to need to be done here. Ugh.

Yeah. I can't believe that it never hurt. It was obviously there for years. Only nominal function left in kidney... Only found it because of all the imaging required for another problem...
