Ive gone through it countless times. The key is to drink LOTS of water and cranberry juice(no cocktail, no sugar added). Add lemon to ur water, it helps break up the stones. Drinking more fluids will help aid on keeping ur ureter open, making the pathway for the stones smooth and easier(less pain for you while they pass). Hope that helps, take care.
