Hi Bobbye, I have two large kidney stones. I had sonic wave using lithotripsy . I had a lot of bruising, my stomach area was really swollen and I have a big knot on my back rib area that has used inside but it's still there. I'm going to the doctor about it on Monday. They wanted to wait one month and do it again because half of each stone is still present. Has anyone else ever had this as a result. Below is an article I found about diet and the formation of kidney stones. My doctor did not tell me to change anything in my diet except during 3 to 4 quarts a day.
Did he anyone else received any dietary restrictions to help prevent kidney stones. _http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/kidney-stones/other-treatme nts.html_ (http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/kidney-stones/other-treatments.html) (http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/kidney-stones/other-treatments.html) In a message dated 4/12/2011 4:43:18 P.M.

Sedation is minor, not total, and I have little sensation so recovery was minimal. Good luck either way!

I had an ultra sound done on my kidney's and they found stones. Tomorrow I'm getting an x-Ray to determine if the stones are clsifid (sp) or not. A week from tomorrow I will see my urologist with x-Ray in hand and I just might be walking out of his office with an RX to take a pill to dissolve the stone. I am ridiculously upset about the prospect of having the stone zapped, souly because i would need to be at an out patient center at 6:00am - for me, and a lot of us, this is extremely difficult.
