Enough backpressure has to form to give that last "kick" to push the stone on into the bladder. A lot of people feel instant relief once this happens, but watch out later as it still has to complete the journey out of the body. A lot of times a urinary tract infection accompanies stones on the move which will cause a burning sensation as you urinate. Cranberry juice is a natural way of keeping urinary infections in check.

Exactly where mine was on the CT scan- at the door to the bladder. I'm in the waiting room at the urologist office now to get a prescription for Flomax (helps it pass?) and they are also going to check my pee to see what's in there that could be causing it. I hope it's not the Bud Light.
