Hi Guest,
Been there.
Lithrotripsy may be an option for you. They use sound waves to break up the stones so you pass them. You really don't have many options. The pain can be disabilitating and it can lead to chronic kidney infections if not treated.
See your urologist.
Good luck.

Thanks I was trying to keep away from the big bill cause I don't think I can get it just fine in the err and pay later they would like money all upfront and it will cost a lot..... but thanks that will probably be the only way

I can understand about the bill but I don't think you have a choice. Try to work something out with the hospital, some will establish a payment plan.

Theres really not much else u can do n once its obstructed u cannot wait too long without severe consequences to u. The obstructed side causes urine to back track to your kidney causing swelling to a major organ n fluid building up. Yhe sooner u get astent placed the better. 8mm n prob 5 mm will not pass. Usually 4mm Iis the biggest that will pass wit extreme discomfort. I wish u the best
