Symptoms of a stone working its way into the bladder?

Hey fam, hoping somebody can help -
Just a quick one — a CT scan showed my stone was 2mm away from the bladder. From that point on I got this sudden burning and sharp pain right at the tip and in the urethra of my penis. That stretch lasted 3 days with pain while urinating, then it stopped out of nowhere .....not sure whether I actually passed the stone or not? Going off anyone's experience, can somebody shed some light on how long the trip from bladder through the urethra takes and what that process looks like? At what stage does the pain in the penis usually show up? Is it while it's passing through, or while it's entering the bladder?

Stone Fighter #B1DB2BSep 15, 2026When it's sitting really close to the bladder you get this constant burning, and then it just stops dead once it's inside the bladder.. once it's in there you might get sudden sharp twinges that come and go. The last small one I had, I didn't even feel it come out — I was just peering closely into the toilet every single time and spotted it one day. Mine took about 2 days to make it out of the bladder.
Stone Fighter #17A9FESep 15, 2026Thanks, im guessing the burning and the pain is just it making its way into the bladder as well.
