I figured a way to blast it out,, and it worked.
That was one BIG kidney stone 5mm X 8mm, shaped like a bullet, but it
must have been tail first to hang up like that, I've got an awesome
photo of it

Yep I got it out,, but the way I did it was as follows,,
Gross painful details but here it is anyway
I couldn't get a strong enough stream to push it out,, so I let the
supply build up until I could not stand it, Then I pinched the base of
my penis, and opened the prostrate valve, pushed as hard as I could,
then released the pressure at the base of my penis. The repaid slug of
urine, pushed it the rest of the way out instantly, it only hurt for a
sec. I tried a couple of times just letting the bladder fill up, which
is not easy, as you know, but it didn't work
It would not come out normally because my stream would start very slowly
Now my bother in law had another solution, he told me if I would lay it
on the edge of the table he could take a hammer and bust the stone up so
it would pass. My wife laughed for an hour, after hearing his solution.
I'm down to passing the last stone, now,, I had 6 in the left kidney 3
months ago, and I'm down to one.
I hope this new thing I'm doing will eliminate the stones completely,
they did a study where they said the drinking of strong lemon aid every
day would lower the PH of your Urin, so calsium stones can not form. I'm
drinking a min. of 32 Oz of "real" lemon aid a day now

According to the 2 Dr.'s I talked to, they had never heard of it
happening for so long. They said it is common for one to hang up there
because it started out at the end of the stream, but they are always
expelled at the next time they urinated.
I could send (email) you a photo of the stone, then you can see how, and
why it hung up, if it was coming out backwards, this stone actually had
a front and back to it, if you see the photo you will see that it does,,
it was shaped like a bullet, 5mm in Dia, and 8mm long, it was tapered at
one end and flat with jagged ends at the other.

It did hang up,, for four weeks, they had me go in to the clinic for a
basket, but they refused to put me under,, so I left, started drinking
huge quantities of lemon aid,, the desolved some of it so it could
pass,, 4 weeks of total hell

Just took a look at the picture. Yikes!!! I'm surprised you even
survived. I'm heading in for an ultra-sound in a couple of months.
..My last stone was about 4 X 7 mm, but it was as smooth as a capsule
pill. Even at that, it felt like a water melon coming down. ...At least
if the ultra sound shows my next one to be as big, I can always opt for
the lithotripsy while it's still in the kidney. ...Thanks for the
picture. ...Jon

I know this is an old thread but I fear I may have the same problem.
I noticed about 3 days ago that when I urinate i feel a slight pain
just before i begin to actually pee. It does feel as though something is
stuck in my penis (like inside the head of the penis on the left hand
side)
I had blood in my urine about 6 months ago a few times but it cleared
up and hasn't happened since, but at the time I noticed that 'kidney
stones' often popped up when researching my symptoms on the web.
Is there a way for me to break the stone up or something?
edit: In my research on kidney stones I hear alot about the pain when
it passes the bladder but I haven't experienced any pain. Would that
mean that it isnt a kidney stone or that it maybe a small one or
sometinhg else?

If the stone were so small that you had no pain when it was passing
through the ureters (the "tubes" linking the kidneys to the bladder) -
the most painful part of kidney stone passage - it is unlikely that it
would be stuck in something as wide as your urethra (the passage from
the bladder out the body).
There are many things that could be causing the pain you're describing.
If you're still having hematuria (bloody urine) as well as the pain,
it's best to consult a doctor who can examine you, take your history and
perform tests.
Anecdotally, I have passed hundreds of stones (I'm passing one now,
yay!) but I'm an "innie" so have no first-hand experience with external
urethras.

Thanks for replying.
No. I have not noticed any blood in my urine for about 6 months.
I guess you're right. If i didn't feel any pain it would be a very
small kidney stone. If it is a very small kidney stone then it wouldn't
get stuck in my urethra. Therefore it is more likely a urinary tract
infection?

I can't do a dipstick test on you from here ... but I bet your doctor
could if you made an appointment. Internet diagnoses are worth even less
than what you pay for them!
There's a lot of things it coudl be - UTI, epididymitis, urethritis, etc
etc etc -and only a doctor who examines you, takes a history and runs
tests can tell you. People on the internet can't.
Usually when the pain radiates down to the tip of the penis, it means
the stone is in the ureter, about to pass into the bladder. ...This
last inch, or so, the ureter constricts. ...I had a stone hang up in
there for a long time, and the only indication was an infrequet
appearance of blood in the urine.
..If the stone is small, during its passage from the kidney to the
bladder, you may get the urge to pee -- constantly... Even though
there's nothing there to come out. ...The pain in the back, in
conjunction with nausea and vomiting, occurs when the stone stops or
impedes the flow of liquid down the ureter. ...I always know when a
stone is ready to drop into the bladder, as shooting pains (almost like
electricity) travel down to the tip of the penis. ...You literally have
to grab the end, as it feels like you're going to open up like a banana.
