I had a bunch of stones removed in 1991-92 that I didn't even know I had! They didn't cause UTIs or anything but I had a cystoscopy done and were removed then & there. The office-procedure went smoothly but THE ENTIRE WEEK after I had SEVERE bouts of AD when lying down after sitting up all day.
I may need to have another cysto done soon but am scared to death. I've heard that B&O suppositories
or "NITRO-BID" (Nitroglycerin Ointment USP, 2%) to keep at home for AD.
And I have the little card on what to do if AD occurs (where Drs are unfamiliar with it) including an IV solution that I got from the PVA to carry in my purse at all times.

Stones almost killed me causing severe autonomic dysreflexia when i wore a Foley. I had to go under anesthesia to have them removed. I finally had an augment/mithronoff procedure and now independently cath thru my belly button

Hi LQ,
In '87 I had a few bladder stones, about dime sized, removed using Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). I'm careful to keep my calcium intake down now, and haven't had any problems since then.
With Love,
