https://urology.wustl.edu/patient-care/kidney-stones/kidney-stones-overview/ said that stones under 5 mm can take a few days to a few weeks to pass.

And since it is on the internet it must be right.

I’ve had the wonderful experience twice. Took several weeks for mine to pass.

Once was enough. I’m guessing my body wanted to have me experience it again out of rage for starting to exercise at that time. LOL’d at the time despite the pain as it reminded me that I was still alive.

Your wife has my sympathy. Drinking the water and I mean, DRINKING THE WATER is about the only way to rid herself of that stone without medical science.

I've had several kidney stones. Most passed. One got stuck in ureter and required surgery to get it out. All were extremely painful. Indeed, it is the closest a man will experience natural child birth, so I've been told. If I was a woman, and experienced a kidney stone before giving child birth, I would never, ever, ever get pregnant. But that's just me. Take the pain meds as ordered and all will be well...….

[[She isn’t experiencing any pain. In fact, she’s feeling pretty good. Maybe not 100%, but is doing well.]]

The stone isn’t moving. Pain means its moving.

Have it blasted if you can. Watch for fever, that’s a sign your kidney is backing up.

I’ve found moist heat on your back over your kidney area helps with the pain.

Stay away from teas and dark soda. Drink plenty of water.

Even soak in a hot tub of Epson salts if the pain becomes unbearable.

Tons of apple juice
Dissolves them
Also review kidney cleanses. Harsher but also work
