Hey Eagle, wish they could crush it. I went to 2 surgeons and googled kidney stone surgery and the consenes was that they can't do that with real big stones. Mine is 3 1/2 cm. They tried to shrink it so I could have it removed with stents and ultra sound but no luck....I think I read that passing them is more painful for men. Longer urethra...if they're lucky. hehe
oh, it's alright!! i am used to them by now....i spend about a week in the hospital each month. it has sucked tyring to pass them with only tylenol or ibuprofen, but i have done it!! thank you for your sympathies!! no one knows what a killer they are until they get one!! lol
Optimum is to have them squished by ultrasound and dust passed.........passing even pin head size things is like giving birth to bowling ball........
Apparently they can. Did they do a CT scan on yours. I hear it's h@ll to pass them but I am going to have to have mine taken out with invasive surgery so it might be better to pass them or get them out with stents. My surgeon says I will need to be on a morphine drip or will have too much pain. I will only have 6 weeks clean and I'm really scared of the drugs.
ya mean they can sit in there and not come out???? Oh please tell me no!!!
ohhh girl I am so sorry . I have a few in each kidney and I have passed a few but nothing like that
