Been dealing with this stone since December

25M. This past December I ended up in the ER with flank pain and blood in my urine. The CT turned up a 4mm stone sitting in the right renal pelvis, no obstruction. My scrotal ultrasound was largely normal, apart from a small left hydrocele and a tiny spermatocele. Ever since, I’ve had urinary symptoms coming and going for months. There are stretches of days/weeks where I feel close to normal, then it flares right back up. My main symptoms right now:

I feel like I need to pee constantly

like I can’t ever empty my bladder all the way

pressure and a full feeling in my penis/pubic area

a throbbing discomfort in my penis every so often

aching in my right testicle/groin that comes and goes

everything tends to hit in waves

A couple times I’ve felt this sharp “poke” while urinating, almost like something moving through the urethra. Here’s what’s strange:

overall I’m still peeing like normal

no fever or chills

my last urinalysis came back totally normal (no blood, no infection)

the flank pain has stayed gone since February

Urgent care looked back over my old scans and sent me to urology. I’ve already got a CT booked next month, with the urology visit right after. Mostly I’m wondering:

Has anyone else had a stone irritate the bladder/urethra for this long?

Could a tiny stone or some fragments be sitting near the bladder outlet/urethra, causing this nonstop urge/fullness?

Has anyone had pelvic floor/bladder irritation linger even after the stone most likely passed?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s dealt with similar symptoms, because this constant “need to pee” feeling is driving me up a wall.
