....kidney stones.....I hates them. Because of them I've discovered: morphine make me vomit; a certain doctor only injectable painkiller doesn't work; a general anesthetic is a good nap; and having a tube shoved up there for them to 'star wars' a stone, creates a annoying recovery period. Public hospitals yay!!
The only time I've had sonication was when I went private.
I'm currently on the public system waiting list to deal with a stone, but they're not fussed about it due to the location it formed in. It can't move anywhere, just grow. That and apparently I get a mix of all the kidney stone types with a predisposition for the uric acid variety.
I believe that there's a good possibility that I get them due to constantly running borderline dehydrated - If I don't feel thirsty, I don't drink any fluid. When I do it's typically at meals and probably doesn't meet 'my' daily h20 requirment.
