Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

There are several factors which influence the ability to pass a stone. These include the size of the person, prior stone passage, prostate enlargement, and the size of the stone.
A 1.9 cm stone has almost no chance of passage. Following Treatment would be needed.
1. lithotripsy- a procedure in which ultrasonic shock waves are used to break stone into smaller ones so that they pass ureter easily
2.Surgical techniques like laproscopic surgery would be used for stones which do not pass through ureter on their own.

Ketorolac , an anti-inflammatory drug, and narcotics may be used for pain control in severe pain. Aspirin, and NSAIDs must be avoided if lithotripsy is to be done because of the increased risk of bleeding.

Hope this information helps
