I'v had them a few times. But for ten years or more I have been taking a cranberry capsule and a big swig of cranberry juice with my meds every day. Since then I haven't had any. I wouldn't wish them on anyone. I had a few that they could not crush with ultra sound and had to go in after them. In the process of removing them they tore my ureter (tube from kidney to bladder) and had to go in and reconnect it. Fun times.

and them stints when you get them out, ouch! your sticking that tube where, that long?? i cut out all carbonated beverages and the stones disappeared. 9mm is my best.

I have had them since I was a little kid, nobody ever could help or figure it out. I was in the dentist office one day reading a Men’s Health mag. Hit me that is what I have been dealing with for years. Has been better ever since then. I still get one now and again but nothing like I used too. Drink lots of water that has helped the most.

My doctor now asked a few years ago if I had kidney stones in the past as I now have kidney damage. They changed my blood pressure meds as to no do more damage.
