Brief Answer:
no problem

Detailed Answer:
Most of the times such a small kidney stones are coincidental and do not have any clinical significance. They will be passed off automatically without even ones knowledge. They are all coincidental discoveries and you do not have worry about it.
Please clarify..
1. Did you develop bruise at any other place?
