re: Kidney Stones

Anyone have experience with Kidney Stones? I had to go to the ER the other night with severe back pain on my left-hand side. The pain comes and goes periodically, but nothing to the intensity of the other night at the ER. Had a CT scan done, the test results said stone hasn't made it to my bladder yet and was 3mm. The urologist said he measured the stone and it is 6mm in greatest diameter. He offered two approached, let it pass on its own if the pain is under control or a surgical procedure to fragment and remove the stone. Anyone with kidney stone experience have a thought on my options?

I had lithotripsy on one of the 2 stones I've had in my life. It sucked for about a day but I was fine after that

My second stone was smaller but seemed to be more painful. That one passed naturally while I was under the influence of sweet mother Oxycontin
