If you can pass a kidney stone, you can pass a motorcycle!
Any kidney stone sufferers here?

I've had a couple. One was while on a fishing trip. I missed out on a good part of that. Usually 12-24 hrs for me to pass one. Drink lots is some of the best advice. I'm sure that the lemon won't hurt. Good luck...

There's a ton of reasons one can have stones: diet, genetics, congenital deformities, flow (urodynamics), hydration, there are even some bacteria that can cause them...
I'm sorry my colleagues told you that there's only one type, and no way to tell. It's technically true with the data given, but...
Generally, a specialist visit isn't indication after the first stone, but if you want to see one, there's no reason why not. If you want the best result, you'll **** through a strainer until you pass what looks like sand. You'll take that to your urologist and they can send it to the lab.
Stones happen for multiple reasons (above), and while calcium are the most common, we can do better job of telling you what your risk of future stones are and/or what you can modify to reduce that risk of recurrence of we know what caused it, which we can't do just from knowing you have one.
You can try flomax, toradol (ketorolac) or one of its cousins, and push hydration. Other than that, I can't be more specific over the internet with the data given.
May I suggest going to your primary? They can likely do 99% of this and send you to a urologist or nephrologist as needed.
Now, please don't mistake this for comprehensive medical care, but it's pretty close to what I'd tell you if you're in my ER.
And I may not be a doctor, but I did stay in a holiday inn last night... Just kidding, I actually am one.

I feel for all sufferers out there. The brothers in our music group all have them, as much of it is genetic. I hope you can find a dietary way to better your condition.
My wife had them, diet definitely is a factor. My inlaw is a Nephrologist who obviously deals with stones frequently. She hooked the wife up with a Urologist who zapped them with ultrasound or whatever it's called. Two trips, a big diet change and no more problems. The procedures were $32.000.00 each per the insurance print out.

He said that it relaxes the mussels that control the kidneys and bladder allowing the stones to pass just like the drugs. And he doesn't have to have the stones broken up.

Thank you, Sir! Appreciate the instruction (and the humor) greatly.
No worries. If you just need to ask further questions or bounce ideas, call/PM me.
Kidney stones are tough customers. Always passed them without having them being broken up. They started in 1982, having passed through with no help from the urologist. May have 4 one year and none for the next 2 or 3 years. Unpredictable no doubt.

When ask what they looked like, my friend always said They look like a Cockle burr and feel like a golf ball.

They are a curse. I pass them every year or two, for the past 16 years. They sometimes find 5 at a time... and then sometimes I have them again in the same year. Peeing them out is a cakewalk. Going through the "tube" from the kidneys to the bladder is the part that makes me wish I would have been nicer in a past life. lol
Lemon juice, a little in your drinks daily will decrease the chance of them getting big and slow progression. I tried it but my teeth became sensitive... it is very hard on your enamel. I quit adding the lemon juice for fear of ruining my teeth.
The 9-10 mm ones are a humdinger. I have passed a LOT of blood and what appears to be chunks of meat with the big ones. The heavy duty drugs they give me via I.V. in the ER don't even seem to help.
They send me home to groan and cry. lol.
I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy... as long as they voted conservative
They cannot figure what causes mine except I do not get thirsty and drink very little. Can't stand the taste of water. Even in my infantry days, humping 30 miles a day I would give my canteen water to my fellow team mates. I would usually be the last one to run out of canteen water.
