How To Pass A Kidney Stone
hi everyone
how bad is it really? i can either have it done or go through the stent removal process again. the stent removal and all that was extremely painful.
any recommendations and/or thoughts?
THanks!

Just imagine someone putting a jackhammer on your back for an hour or two… and you’ll have some idea.
It is not unbearable, but is painful. It often leaves the skin bruised in the area that was treated. I can’t really say it is more or less painful than a stint, but I do think the sonic treatment is a more familiar pain. We know what it feels like to be pummeled, but not so much what it feels like to have our urethra scraped up.
