Thank you all for the good thoughts. ;^)

The stone is quiet right now. The doctor gave me a prescription for Levaquin & Lortab. One is an antibiotic to head off any infection and the other is for pain.

They did a cat scan on my abdomen and the results showed a 4mm stone. The doctor said that size is still passable, it is when the stones get into the over 6mm size that "other" means are considered for removal.....*shudder*

Other than that I have a call in to my urologist and standing orders to drink myself silly (with water).

Bear, the only thing that can be done to control the stones, besides medication, is to watch your diet.

OUCH!

I hope this is over with quickly ksen. I know it has to be very painful. Prayers for a fast fix!

Owwwww! Owwwww! Owwwwww!

Sounds like you are being very brave. I would be curled up in a fetal position bemoaning my fate!

Praying for an easy passage!

I am shuddering over the idea that it will pass! - Are you sure the "other" options are worse?
