Kidney Stones
I know it has been a long time since I posted but after a doctor's visit today, I'm struggling with a health issue that maybe someone else is going through or has had a similar experience. About two years after my surgery, I started having a problem with kidney stones. At first, it was one every two or three months. That has steadily increased to where I now pass stones on a weekly basis. I have collected over 100 stones since January, most of them very small with no blood or infections. Has anyone else out gone through something like this? My doctor's are stumped. We've tried increasing my potassium and reducing my oxalate input with little success. My doctor's are looking into finding a doctor anywhere in the southeast that might have an answer. The pain is manageable but the pain meds are becoming a problem. Any ideas!?!?!
