Chronic stone former here, and I can confirm this. That said, I did have a stone large enough to get stuck in the urethra -- not the ureter. The doctor was quite impressed. Unfortunately, I passed it in a public toilet shortly after leaving the doctor, so I wasn't able to capture and measure it. At any rate, hydronephrosis is the real thing to fear in most cases.
