Let’s see? Like clock work the stones have been around for years! My stones are so hard laser wont work. They’ve had to go in and pull them out the last three times. The very last time they took them out threw my back. Has of 4/11/08 went to the hospital, have two more stones. The E.R. doctor said one of them look like it would pass. So if it does it will be the 1st to pass. Without any kind of surgery.

Hi Steven:
Glad to hear the new stones should pass.

I was interested in your surgery thru the back. I am facing that in a week and haven't found anyone that has had it and then I came upon your story. Can you tell me more about it and any problems you had? Mine is a stuvite, staghorn about 1.9cm, upper pole and from what I have read I am not looking forward to the surgery. They say 6+ days in the hospital and 2-3 weeks recovery!

If you prefer not to post it here you can reach me at [moderator note: e-mail address has been removed]. Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Grey
