I have been trying to pass two kidney stones in past two weeks. Doc
says they ar small enough to pass. Ok now they are stuck at the
entrance to my bladder. I can feel them. They haven't moved in two
days. I am afraid my ureter is getting clogged with urine, backing up
into my kidney.
Should I try to get Doc to try and remove them or tough it out for
awhile longer? I haven't had too much pain today. But am worried. I am
drinking cranberry juice and a little olive oil in morning. Lots of
water, and what ever I can think of.

If you are urinating normally, there is probably no problem. You may
think you feel them at the "entrance" of your bladder, but they're
probably in your bladder by now and may have already passed them.

If they're small enough to pass, they're unlikely to be big enough to
cause hydronephrosis. If you're unsure, however, the best person to
contact is your doctor. Depending upon what kind of stone you have,
either an Xray, sonorgram or CT scan can check where the stones are.
