3mm stone is driving me insane
- Strategy
- Patient journey
I’ve been in severe pain for the last five days. I went to hospital two days ago and they found I have a 3mm kidney stone. The doctor said that if I drank plenty of fluids, the stone should pass within 24 hours. But two days have now passed, making it five days in total. I wasn’t in any pain at all today, but now, in the middle of the night, it’s started hurting again. When am I going to get rid of this bloody thing?

Ha this made me giggle bc I’ve been working on a 3mm stone since November 2025
😭😭😭
I still have 21mm and I drink rapidus everytime it hurts. Still trying to fix my operation. But what my doctor prescribed me is the medicine called “tamsulosin” and it it works by relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow, typically taken once daily 30 minutes after a meal.
