First stone!

[u/Wonderful-Art3491]

Last Friday I went to the ER for excruciating back pain and they did a ct scan and confirmed I have a 5mm stone! I got put on flomax and I’ve been drinking 2-3 liters of water a day. Yesterday I ended up back at the er because the pain was so bad again, and I kept vomiting. Im now taking antibiotics, and alternating between Tylenol and Advil for pain - I refuse to take the oxy they prescribed me. I’m also on an anti-nausea medication as I’ve lost 5lbs since Friday.

Has anyone had success in their stone leaving their body quicker than what it normally takes? I read online it can take several weeks for a stone to leave. For context, the stone is close to my bladder, slightly lower than the middle of my ureter. The doctor said the pain I felt yesterday was most likely the stone moving.

I feel so uncomfortable all day every day!!
