May 8 @ 8:55 pmMy doc consulted with a urologist today and between them they ruled out the ultrasonic therapy as a viable solution in my case. Instead they’ve prescribed a couple of meds that are supposed to help break-up the stone chemically and help it pass. If it doesn’t work by early next week, they’ll plan on extracting it surgically.
Hopefully it will pass on it’s own, as I’m scheduled to leave for California next Thursday for a west coast motorcycle meet. I’m not giving up yet, but the schedule is getting a little crunched.

Oooo….my nephew has had several of those. Hope they pass soon!

Sorry to hear that they can’t get them out with the sound…
Here’s to them traveling fast… godspeed kidney stones!

Yikes, that really sucks. Other than passing the stone, do you need anything?
May 9 @ 8:18 am
Been there done that. The entertainment value of passing a stone is way over rated. God Speed to the passing.
