Hi,

I just had an episode myself this week, went to my gyn thinking the pain was from my cyst.
My doctor told me to go to the ER, because he thought it was something else.
Turns out I have 2 stones, one on each side, and they are too big to pass. One is .8 and
the other is 1.0mm. Went to a urologist yesterday and he recommends ureterscopy,
holmium laser lithotripsy and stents.
I will schedule these procedures for August and hope that the pain doesn't come back
before then. It was worst then my labor pains. Thank God for the morphine they gave me.
What will you be having done and how big are your stones.
Please let me know how everything goes on the 16th, wishing you the best.
