Much depends on the specialist and their protocol. (you should be asking them) Generally if you are placed in a tub of water, all you will hear is snapping sounds as the equipment is being used to shatter the stone (s). There is generally no discomfort. You might consider adding more vinegar to your diet to break down any solids in your body. Best Wishes In a message dated 4/24/2013 10:15:00 A.M.

Hi everyone, This is my first post after joining a month or so ago. I had a fall 10/27/1986 and had a fusion of c5/c6. I am closing on 27 years, was 20 when I fell. I have a kidney stone in my left kidney, it is 6cmx7cm and have an appointment scheduled to have it blasted on May 6th, I was inquiring if anyone has had it done and what concerns I should have like do I need to be put under during the procedure being that not having feeling in the area. Thanks, Mike
