Guest guest Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hello Mirela, Sorry to hear about your grandfather.  I really don't know much about the lithotripsy but my husband has kidney stones every few years and he had that procedure done about three years ago with no no know complications. Lovell ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:07 AM Subject: kidney stone problem and help  Hello all, My grandfather was diagnosed with kidney stones and he is one step away from surgery. I am worried that at his age this might not be such a great ideea. Someone told me about lithotripsy, a procedure that is non invasive and uses ultrasound to brake the stones. Can anyone help me with more info regarding this procedure? Thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Mirela My brother has had it done a few times as well with no complications. It might be something to ask the doctor about, or get a seocnd opinion. Good luck!
