@redcat2109 As @jakedduck1 mentioned, there are 4 major types of kidney stones. Here is a link from Mayo Clinic that describes them: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kidney-stones/symptoms-causes/syc-20355755

Many years ago I had a kidney stone, and my dad was highly susceptible to them. I recall the doctors even back then, checking the stones to see what they were made of, in order to help them not keep reappearing. Has your doctor talked to you about that? My sister and father both had the lithotripsy to break up the stones, and were happy with the results.

Was the stint the doctor put in painful? How long did it stay in? Was it painful to get it removed?
