Rick - I ran across this website after a google search. I'll have to look into it a bit more.

I did talk to AOPA. The person I talked to said I only have to report the stone (assuming they find one) on my next medical application several months from now and that there is no need to get my AME involved. She mentioned that as long as the urologist says I'm free of stones, I can "self certify" myself for use of my medical privileges.

I did go to the urologist today. She did a urinalysis and said everything looked fine. I haven't had any pain since Saturday. I am going in for an IPV tomorrow just to make sure everything is clear. Hopefully everything is clear and I should be good to go back to work assuming that the AOPA medical person is correct in that I don't have to go talk to my AME.

Thanks for everyone's help
