10mm Kidney Stone
I woke upto very bad pain and am diagnosed with 10mm calculi stuck in Ureter at EVJ. Do you think I will need a surgery or can avoid it by homeopathic medicines and if it does not work then for surgery. Would a lithotripsy work in this case. Chances are it's uric acid stone and my entire family has uric acid problems.

Hello there...... Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.
Some stones that form and stick in the kidney do not cause symptoms or any harm. They can just be left if they are small.
...,,.... Consult Urologist for further advice......
