6mm kidney stone in Uretur halfway down to bladder question.?
ok guys heres the issue. about 1 month ago i had the kidney stone pain issue with passing a stone, it lasted as before with my tiny ones all night long, with eventually falling asleep and waking up thinking it was in the bladder to pea out eventually. Well I had a doctor follow up on it during a rutine visit and had had me get a KUB xray, which shows its half way between kidney and bladder nearly a month later.
He wants me to get lipotripsy done to break it up, says its in the best location.
here's my question to all...
I have had no issue,pain, cramping, not anything in over amonth since the inital pain of it moving. I also know the doctor HIMSELF will get a little more then $2000 for the procedure and the hospital will get the other $7000. And with my insurance, my cost out of pocket will be around $2800.00. (well I dont have $2800). So my question is after readying so many people passing much bigger stones.
What do yall think? {devils advocate}. doctor makes $2k getting me too do this, yet others pass 4-6mm stones everyday. plus i have no issues, syptoms, pain or anything right now???

You will have pain again, maybe be in the hospital anyway. If you have the surgery, then this is avoided. Your decision.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

Get the herb known as Chanca Piedra aka Stone Breaker.
I had two 8mm kidney stones and took this herb for 9 days and passed the stones with no pain - only a burning sensation as they exited my body. I retrieved one of the stones but am certain that I passed both because I experienced the burning sensation twice in the same day while urinating. After the first one I went into a cup and then poured it through a coffee filter. The stone measured 7mm x3 mm when it came out. I have had many kidney stones over the years that were much smaller and extremely painful to the point that even morphine did not eliminate all pain. Chanca Piedra is said to be 3 times better than morphine for pain. It relaxes the smooth muscle of the urinary track and expels the stones. Mine were in my kidneys and detected with sonograms. They were only causing mild and occasional pain but I was passing blood and thus suspected I had stones.
While the label instructions for 500mg Chanca Piedra capsules say to take one capsule a day or 3 capsules twice a day [depending on the brand, I found instructions online that said to take 2 to 3 grams twice a day so that is what I took - four to six capsules twice a day. Nine days on the capsules and I passed the stones. I will continue to take 3 capsules twice a day for at least a month to be sure I am done with them or maybe for longer. I am also expelling phlegm from my lungs due to additional benefits of this herb being good for bronchitis which I have been prone to getting for years.
I bought mine for less than 5 dollars for a bottle of 60 capsules from Swanson. You can find the link here: http://shopping.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=ApVLaVYnMdnB... Get at least two bottles to be sure - but if it was me I would get more.
I believe for June 2012 the coupon code SWANBRAND will save you an additional 10% at Swanson and you get free shipping on 50 dollar orders.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT EVERYONE CAN OR SHOULD TAKE THIS PRODUCT:
Contraindications:
Chanca piedra has demonstrated hypotensive effects in animals and humans. People with a heart condition and/or taking prescription heart medications should consult their doctor before taking this plant. It may be contraindicated for some individuals with heart conditions and/or heart medications may need monitoring and adjusting.
Chanca piedra has been considered in herbal medicine to be abortive (at high dosages) as well as a menstrual promoter. While not studied specifically in humans or animals, animal studies do indicate it has uterine relaxant effects. It should therefore be considered contraindicated during pregnancy.
Chanca piedra has been documented with female antifertility effects in one mouse study (the effect was reversed 45 days after cessation of dosing). While this effect has not been documented in humans, the use of the plant is probably contraindicated in women seeking pregnancy or taking fertility drugs. This effect has not been substantiated sufficiently to be used as a contraceptive, however, and should not be relied on for such.
Chanca piedra has demonstrated hypoglycemic effects in animals and humans. It is contraindicated for people with hypoglycemia. Diabetics should consult their doctor before taking this plant as insulin medications may need monitoring and adjusting.
Chanca Piedra has been documented in human and animal studies with diuretic effects. Chronic and acute use of this plant may be contraindicated in various other medical conditions where diuretics are not advised. Chronic long-term use of any diuretic can cause electrolyte and mineral imbalances; however, human studies with chanca piedra (for up to three months of chronic use) has not reported any side effects. Consult your doctor if you choose to use this plant chronically for longer than three months concerning possible side effects of long term diuretic use.
