Hi Carolyn,
In almost 30 years as a Quad, I've had bladder stones removed once using shock wave lithotripsy. To my knowledge I've passed only one pea-sized stone from my left kidney. I do drink a lot of water every day so I'm sure that helps me keep the stones down.
I found this info on treatment options. I hope they will help. I will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong. http://www.urologystone.com/CH07TreatmentOptions/swlFrame.html
With Love,

Who on the list has had kidney stones and what treatment did you recieve? I had some removed through surgery a few years ago and now I have more stones. I've been putting off going back to the Dr. since August because I'm afraid of surgery again. They are to big for electric zaps......any suggestions? Can I get into trouble by leaving them and doing nothing.Carolyn c2/3 quad, 61, 41 years post, Tamarac, FL
