Hello and welcome to HCM,
Majority of kidney stones are radio-opaque and can be detected on imaging studies.
However, during acute stage, the stone may not be detected due to soft tissue swelling.
In that case, the diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of characteristic history.
Small stones (few millimeters in diameter) do not require immediate surgery.
They have to be followed up and one needs to drink plenty of water to pass the stone in urine.
The pain is experienced when the stone passes down the ureter.
The pain is indeed very severe and pain killer like buscopan, meftal is required to control the pain.
Get pain killer prescribed from your doctor for the acute attcks and continue the treatment which you are being prescribed.
Thanks and take care
