Its calcium oxilate like the last 10. Its also another trip to the urologist.
And another submission to the V.A. asking to have my disability increased.

And probably another rejection.


PSA: If you got problems with stones, get some Flomax BEFORE you have another one. It could save your life. Or one of your kidneys.
 
Not rejected. I already have 10 percent disability.

I keep asking for a higher rating cuz the stones come back year after year.

If these require diet or drug treatment, or invasive or non-invasive procedures more than twice per year, you should be getting 30 percent.
 
Drugs, flo-max. And a slightly modified diet.
Did you know cranberry juice aggravates calcium oxilate stones?
And almonds.
And kale & spinach.

And about 50 other things you wouldnt think of.

If you have to take medication for your recurrent stones, you should probably be getting 30. You should appeal your denial. PM me if you have further questions.
 
3.5 mm stone in right ureter. For some reason its causing pain in my bladder. Got some Ketorolac, doesnt seem to help much. Am afraid of the heavy stuff. Long family history of substance abuse.

Also have a 1 mm stone in the left kidney. Should work its own way out.

Doc will see me in a week. If theres no progress at all, we will try drugs. If those dont work, I gotta have some sort of a procedure done.
 
got the x-ray done. No stone in my right side. Must have passed on its own without me feeling it.

1mm stone on my left side. That will be number 15, probably next summer.
 
Alright, there was a pain in my bladder area AFTER the stone came out.

Apparently a chunk of flesh had been shredded and was hanging out in my ureter, then my bladder. I just peed it out.

Looked like a black worm.
