Hello
I share your concern.
Pain killers are harmful in long run and regular use that's your doctor is not prescribing you.
I would advise you to take plenty of fluids 4-5 liters per day.
if you can upload me more information like size of the stone, your ultrasound report, your age, dietary habits so that I will be able to tell you more precisely.
Please feel free to ask for follow up question with these details I have asked for, I will gladly answer you.
Best wishes
