Dear diary.

Just kidding. That does suck. It also sucks that you know the "pain level 1-10" thing.

Not good, bro.

Can't they go in and bust them up with lazers now? Or is that a myth and you got to pee 'em out like the olden days.

Just in case I ever get one. Also, are they caused by diet or what?

They can bust them up with lasers. Or “shock” litho. Both suck. But not as bad as the stones.

I recently had lithotripsy on a 9 millimeter stone. Sadly instead of the sand the doctor hoped it would become by way of the procedure didn’t work out and I spent a weekend passing fragments. It was not pleasant! Still not as bad as shingles or childbirth but all of those are less painful than diverticulitis, which to me was the worst!
