yes it can take that long to pass stones i have had problems with stones for the last15 yrs and on average will have stones every month or two some small and big but passable.It seems to take forever to pass and can be very painful during the wait.If you think it is a bigger problem you should go to the doctor and he can get a die test done to see if it is to big to pass.If that is the case there are differant ways they can deal with them doc.will give you the options.yes you should strain to catch them and give to your doc.and he may want to change your diet So far i just deal with them and try to keep pain pills around in case i get one its just a shame that you have to go and spend a lot of money for test so the doc.is sure that it is a stone, and they send you home to wait for it to pass.and he will be able to give you pain med.until it does pass.but don't play around with this it may be a big one and might not be able to pass which could turn into a big problem see a doctor and get his view soon thanks for the chance to give my opinion.
