Question About Kidney Stones...?

Back in the Summer I went to the ER, & they discovered by X-Ray that I had/have a 1cm. kidney stone, & told me to drink plenty of water, & that I should pass it on my own...Well, I'm not much of a water drinker, however, I have been drinking plenty of fluids...but anyways...My question is - Is it possible to pass a 1cm. without being able to tell it?. I have heard mixed answers on this question before when I asked family & friends...others say it is possible when it's that tiny, & others say no...I'm not sure what to believe...To my knowledge I haven't passed it yet, but then again, if it's possible to pass a 1cm stone that tiny & it be painless, then I possibly could have...I'm just wondering, 'cause if it's not possible to have passed it without any pain, then, I just want to know that I have that to look forward to in my future...Any Dr.'s, or nurses out here that can answer my question?...others are welcome to answer as well. Thanks :)

    I had a 9mm stone that was broken up with a lithotripsy procedure. The result was several stones that were 1-2cm. The pain was the worst of my life.

    So, it is possible to have passed the stone. Only an KUB XRay should tell (and even then it might not). But, if you have no pain, and no blood in your urine, you might be just fine.

    Kidney stones may well be risky, my question is why did she no longer flow to the scientific institution and have them bumped off? I have been given kidney stones final August, and had surgical treatment to have them bumped off. It should not be deadly, yet i don't comprehend how she would have stood them very long, mine have been truly painful and that i substitute into peeing blood...she would be able to easily get well, even though it takes some days to sense back to universal and he or she would ought to placed on a catheter for some days besides. ultimate of success to her.
