Kidney Stones

[livingwith]

Feb, 2008 I passed over 100 documented stones in the ER. It all started 3 yrs ago when I became violently ill and was taken to the ER, my first stone was diagnosed. Since then, they cannot prevent me from making stones. I drink lemonade or lemon water daily, increased my intake of water, take potassium citrate and have altered my diet.

Wow - Finally I hear of someone with actually more stones then I have had - So far I am at 69 stones both in the right and left kidney in the past 5 years! Nothing has worked and NO doctor believes that you are in pain even when the stones are still in the Kidney -

On 7-4-09 I was back into the ER with another stone - I passed it just after the CT scan was done. Took the results to my Urologist, who told me I needed the PNL surgery to remove 2 stones in the right kidney because they were 2 stones measuring 2CM each (not 2mm). Then we did a repeat CT at a different hospital and it does not note the size at all. I am confused - I have both CT images but can't make sense of any of them. The Dr. does not care about the one I had done on the 4th, but if they are that big I want them OUT!

Any advise??? - And how in the world are you living on that much pain meds daily - If you think it is the cause then stop for a while and see what happens. I doubt it though, I have been on and off them for years and did not see an increase in stones.
