Hello
Kidney or renal stone pain is severe while it comes down to ureter.as the size of stone is small,there is very high chance to get down.so if pain subside no need to worry.border line spleen doesn't matter.it means spleen size is up to normal borderline.need to have close followup for ultrasound in 3 months.
