If I have to get another procedure I will let them go in and retrieve it. Took nine days to pass the pieces. NINE. Nine long, very painful days. Avoided the retrieval because, well, I knew where they would be going in...

I've had a few that I passed with extreme pain.
My brother had one so large they had to do surgery. Open up the kidney, blast it, then remove the pieces. The pieces would almost fill a small medicine bottle!
Kidney stones is when pain turns professional. |
