Procedure for removing kidney stones

my husband has suffered from kidney stones (his are calcium) for the past six years. He is 51 years old and this has been a devastating and debilitating, sp, disease, and he is truly my hero. I have no idea how he deals with this every day. His kidney has stones in it all the time , he lost his left kidney 5 years ago which was destroyed by stones and his right kidney is only partially functioning. He, at one point, was of course addicted to pain pills. He has for the last 3 years been in an outpatient rehab program and now just deals with the incredible pain and sometimes even worse is the constant nausea and vomiting. It has affected our whole world and has been. at times, a nightmare. I am afraid that this horrible disease may take his life. I can't believe that there isn't something that can be done to stop his body from developing these stones and give him some relief and possibly save his life. Thank you for listening.

Csuenlv, would you mind updating me on your poor hubby? My son is going through this, having lithotripsy every 8 weeks,
