I wouldn’t ask anyone else, but you’re pretty famous for letting it all out there lol:

So the stones have two narrow passageways to move through: the ureter (from the kidney to the bladder) and then the urethra (from the bladder to the great outdoors, including the narrow part through the prostate.) Can you tell when a stone is still up in the ureter (more back pain, I would guess) vs. when it’s now trying to move through the urethra?

I know that either is awful, including all the spasms.

I don't know if everyone is the same, and people tend to think actually passing one is the worst part. For me, I can tell when it's in the urinary tract, and that's the worst pain. Most of the time, my kidney will hurt before one actually drops and causes the unbearable pain, so you kinda have a warning. This one I didn't feel anything until after I peed the other morning. 5 minutes later it felt like I had been stabbed in the back. For me, when it's in my urinary tract, that awful pain will shoot like from my back, into my groin. Not to be graphic, but the worst pain is inside like I guess in the tract, but when it moves into the groin it hurts, but in a way that feels like someone is squeezing your nads with pliers🤣. It'll ease up big time for me when it is in the bladder, and then it'll pass quickly from there. It doesn't feel great, like a bad burning passing out, but it's nothing compared to when it's moving inside my urinary tract. It hurts so bad it makes me feel like I'm gonna throw up. Like I said earlier, it's weird, cause if it's not moving and just there the right way, it'll not hurt as bad. Idk if others all have the same experience, I have a couple of friends who get them, and it's similar.

Pretty much the same. It will give the unbearable back pain while it is in the smaller ureters either in the kidney or just below. Then the pain will ease up some and then you get that pain like someone has kicked you where they shouldn't. I always welcome that though cause I know it's almost over. My problem is get them in my bladder and they stay for months sometimes then get "lodged" to where it feels like I am sitting on a glass sliver. The ejection is the least painful "most surprising" part of it.

I know, TMI. But when you have had in excess of 30, it kinda gets to be old hat. The one that I had surgery for was right at the top of my bladder and was actually deforming the tube above it. They saw it one day and then did surgery the next. It didn't hurt though after it had moved to where it stopped.

It's truly amazing how much a 1.5 mm stone can hurt and then you get a big one and barely feel it.

It honestly is mind boggling. Have you ever googled a blown up picture of a stone? First time I did, because I didn't understand how it hurt that much, I was like "yeah that explains it "🤣

Haven't heard a word about the CT scan, but just got the lab results back. Zero infection, kidney numbers are perfect, and function is perfect. I was more worried about getting an infection, than dealing with a stone.
