Lithotripsy (ESWL) Fragment/Sand Clearance Time
Hello,
For those of you who've undergone this procedure, how long did it take you to clear the stone fragments?
I had this done yesterday for a 8mmX6mmX5mm calcium stone which the Dr indicated was relatively soft and crumbled easily. Thus far, I've passed small pieces of gravel intermittently but not as much as expected.
Any insights are appreciated!

Maxfisher,
I've had several procedures but not that one, so I can't help you on this. Sorry my friend.
