sorry you have to go through with kidney stones! i've had to have laser surgery once, and shockwave once. usually i pass them without even feeling them, sometimes i can feel it travelling through the (urethra????) but once they get to the bladder they are painless.
if i feel my side getting sore, i just chug back lots of apple juice, lemonaide, or iced tea even. or i'll share a beer with dh. doctor recommended.
biggest thing is, to keep your fluids up, and constant.
my last kidney stone was 16 mm, the ones before that were 5 and 7mm. i was in so much pain the first time with the 7 mm getting lodged on it's way to the bladder, that i was throwing up and passed out on the floor. my kids explained to dh that mommy is sleeping on the bathroom floor when he get home from work.
