Is ultrasound lithotripsy not an option?
I actually don’t know the answer. I’ll have to check.
A quick rundown. I’m in my 40s. This is my fifth or sixth stone over 15 years. I’ve had this bout for about 3 months now, which is not unheard of for me. This stone is 5mm with a possible second one hidden behind it. Another small one in the kidney that he’ll try to snag. Maybe that gives some light into why sound wave therapy not offered. But I will follow up with doc on this.

Worst part for me was the stent removal.
Tell me more about this! What does this involve? Sounds terrible.

I had just the ureteroscopy to remove a stone that was low near the bladder. Just before they put me under, I told the nurse, I really didn't want the stent. I'd heard about the stent. nope, no such luck. gives me the willies thinking about it but the removal was really painless. a vicodin and percoset (prescribed) an hr. beforehand took care of that.

They stick a scope with a grabber up your dick hole and pull the stent out of your ureter and back out your dick.
Good Times.
