I am interested in the pain you speak of. If I understand you correctly, after the blasting there is residual pain in the kidneys, and it gets cumulatively worse? Is this what you mean by " the lithos get harder everytime? " Thanks for any more info, Steve > >thanks, > In South Carolina * For those tuning in, that's where they put you in a tank of water and focus a sonic blast made with an electric spark or a laser at your affected kidney in order to break up the stone(s). --S -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Thanks for the blow-by-blow, . The urologist just wanted me to drink lots and lots more water and see if that wouldn't do the trick. I am OK now, but last week was one hell of a week between the national tragedy and my inner turmoil. And, just as we have no idea when, where, or if terrorists will strike again, I have no idea when, where, or if my kidneys will make more stones. I hope that the answers to both uncertainties are " never again.
