Gregg, I moved your question about delaying treatment to see if the kidney stone will pass on its own to this existing discussion where @c111fidler asked a similar question:

I was good with my decision to take the time to allow the kidney stone to pass without intervention. I shared more of my story in this discussion:
- Kidney stones: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/kidney-stones-1/

I was prescribed Flomax to help relax or dilate the ureter to encourage the stone to pass more easily. @redcat2109 @jakedduck1 @johnbishop @gingerw and others may have additional experiences to share.

Gregg, I'm glad to hear you are assymptomatic. How was it discovered that you have a kidney stone?

Thank you, very helpful!

From CT, ultrasound, and KUB images. I'm about to have another KUB image to see if there's been any change.
