I can feel for you.I'm 46 had my 1st stone at 17,then at 22,24,27,at 29 i had 2 in my right side about the size of ping pong ball.Was in the navy at the time so 2 times a week for 8 weeks i had lithotripsy done.At 31 they started coming 1,2 a week i would pass a stone.At 36 i pass 1 to 3 stones a day,i have lithotripsy 4 to 6 times a year in the ER around 10 times per mouth,can't have a CT,KUP,orIVP done
because they don't when i will start to glow.I've been on all the meds.I take one med and my stones go from calcium to uric acid.and i have the great gout to.At one time they were going to take my right kidney but i get them in both sides.I'm trying to find out what the lithotripsy is doing to me.
If they try something new with him let me know me and wife would love to hear what they are trying. GOOOD LUCK
