    I just had kidney stone removal surgery yesterday. The kind with a scope. That’s my life right now, sleeping or awake.

            Mine is 5mm. They told me I had a good chance of passing it. So for weeks, they had me on a double dose of Flomax with some big ibuprofen. Nothing. Follow up CT scan said it hardly moved. They’re going in. They went in. He got far enough in to see it, but couldn’t get to it. I guess in younger men, things are pretty narrow in that vicinity. So, they put a stent in to dilate it larger and I have to go back. But now, it really, really hurts to pee and I have crazy bladder urgency. So I’m in the bathroom frequently for like, a tablespoon or so of fluid. Them just going up there with a scope really did a number on me. It sucks so hard. I really, really hope you just pass yours normally. Good luck to you!
