Oh yeah, also ask him for Flowmax and Pyridium.
The Flowmax will open up your 'tubes' and allow easier passage of the stone(s). The Pyridium will numb the inside of your ureter and allow easier passage of the stone(s).
Both have been SUPER helpful when combined with the Norco, for me anyway.
Good luck, and post back.

I pass 'grit' (sand sized particles) almost every time I urinate. What color are the crystals?
As for your 3.2mm stone... it's passable, although it's going to be painful. Do you know where in the ureter it's located, or has it passed into your bladder already? If it's in your ureter, drink tons of fluids (not coffee or soda... I find lemonade works best), take your pain-meds and hold onto your hat. It'll pass in time, depending on what angle it's coming down the pipe. If you go much longer than 4-5 days with it not passing, they'll scope you and retrieve it that way.
If the stone is in your bladder already, then don't sweat it. Peeing out a 3.2mm stone is a walk in the park (relatively speaking). You should be able to pee it out and really not feel anything except for the sensation of peeing a 'chunk' of something. Although the stone is jagged, you won't feel the jaggedness of it inside your urethra as it's well lubricated (naturally) in there. All you'll hear is the "clink" when it falls into the toilet.
What to expect from your Urologist appointment: Make sure you save anything that you pass (crystals, stones, fragments) so the Urologist can send them off to pathology to see what their makeup is (calcium, calcium-oxalate, struvite, cystine, etc). I wouldn't be nervous. He's not going to DO anything to you in the office, unless he's a real cowboy and decides he wants to scope you right then and there, which I HIGHLY doubt as this is your first rodeo. Don't worry... tell him about your pain and what's going on with you, and ask him for some pain-meds. Stay away from Vicodin, and ask for Norco (either 5/325 or 10/325). Vicodin has too much acetaminophen content and Norco has less (better on the liver).
I feel your pain Sister. I've passed many thousands of stones in my kidney-stone career and I'm right there with you. If this is your first, my heart goes out to you.
You can get through this. Keep posting back and let me know how it's going.
