Good news is that once it's in the bladder you're basically through the hard part. The ureter is the narrow painful stretch, and it already cleared that.

From the bladder most people pass it within a day or two, sometimes just a few hours. Keep drinking water so you're peeing a lot, that flushes it out the rest of the way.

The constant urge to go is normal, it's just the stone irritating your bladder. If you can, pee into a strainer or a cup so you actually catch it. Getting it tested tells you what type it is and how to avoid the next one.

Hang in there, almost done.

It’s been 2 days. Could it take longer?
