Tony, I guess it is different for everyone but I never had any feelings that something might be wrong. I had gone about 4 or 5 years without going to the Urologist and just figured it was time. He found them by accident because the hospital could not find the x-rays, however, he showed me later where they were on the x-rays. Your Urologist could just take x-rays and be able to tell if you have anything growing! I also did some research on bladder stones and discovered that 95% of all bladder stones are found in men. The ones I had were way to big to pass. I drink lots of water so I don't think that effects it. They are formed from acids and chemicals in the body. Excess Vitamin C is probably my problem because I take 2000mg per day. It was suppose to help purify the urine and help prevent UTI's! Ha! Which is worse.....UTI's???? Bladder stones????

I'm doing great now. I had pain for a couple of days but now all is well! In a couple of years we will do the x-rays again to see if they have returned.

heyyy Jerre.....youb got me thinkin about bladder stones. I never realize they could pile up.....my bladder, at times, sticks out very far on the right side of my belly....it's very hard, looks like a grapefruit in there. Sometimes it's not so big...strange to me!! I hardly ever get UTIs, but i don't drink as much as most quads, and i wonder if i got stones piled up...got any ideas???
thanks, tony
