I've had this 'rare' form of kidney stones for the past 7 years now, within the last 7 years I've had 42 surgeries. I've had 5 nephrostomy tube placements and 37 lipotripsies. My medical bills are ridiculous and I honestly can't afford them, even after insurance one lipotripsy surgery still cost almost $1,000.00. I was wondering if anybody had any idea if there was some type of help for medical bills for a recurring condition.
