I’ve had 8 kidney stones most of which were large greater than 20mm.
I had multiple ureteroscopic lithotripsy surgeries to remove them. As far as pain is concerned, once the initial pain was controlled they surgeries were a breeze. I did have a kidney infection and couldn’t urinate and had to be catheterized for 3-4 days. I wouldn’t hesitate to have that procedure again but hopefully it won’t ever be necessary. Drinking lemonade or water with some lemon juice in it is very beneficial. does your Urologist have you taking potassium citrate? And I assume you’re drinking adequate amounts of water. I haven’t had a stone in over a year. Do you know what type of kidney stones you’ve had.

My Urologist has never given me any suggestions to avoid getting more stones, even though my CT scans have showed for years that I've had many. The doctors in Nevada are not the best. I'm going to try to made an appointment to talk to my Urologist before having the procedure to see if there's anything I could do to prevent it.
