Can you SWL a stone near thickened tissue?

had a CT scan and stone is 6mm and it is in the right renal pelvis with soft tissue thickening just beyond this extending into the proximal ureter consistent with focal inflammation.
They have booked me in for a SWL, but Im waiting to be triaged. A friend said that they'd have to perform the traditional lithroscopy rather than Shockwave, but I haven't heard anything for 2 weeks?
Anyone else had one before in the same position?
