Eddie: all kidney stones aren't created equal - please ask your Dr if dietary changes will reduce the risk of further episodes of the soap opera you'd rather skip.
And try to resist the urge to sympathize with pregnant women - you'll just scare them, lol. :D

Went to get X-Rays eary this morning, took them right over to my Doctor. Still have one 4 mm stone, (I passed one about that size last Sat.), that is laying at the bottom of my kidney along with some sand and small stones. He did say they can be passed, so one way or another I'll get this taken care of in the next 4 or 5 days. Go back in 6 months to check if it has grown to a size that he can hit it with sound.

You think if I hang like a bat it will move on out. He did say it has to go up a little before it goes out. :)

Steady, here's the reality of it. Encourage the Dr to insert claw thru a nearby opening. Grab it and pull it out. A few of these procedures, a few more stents, occaisional drain tubes in same passageway and you'll be able to pass them w/o feeling it. The last one I passed( number 45 or so,total) I DID NOT FEEL. I heard it hit the porcelain urinal. I got a paper towel and took it to the truck. See, there is an upside to doing this over and over.

Yeah, I had the "Claw" back int the 80's. Doc said he would not cut me, (yet), he said his wire mesh basket can turn some, but not that much. Have passed about 3 small ones this Morning. Have some pain up there in the Kidney, so hopefully it is trying to move on out.

Funny, when I have passed any stones this go around, no pain. Little kicks here and there, nothing like the pain before Lazer treatment.

My mom had a kidney stone in 1991, about the size and shape of a serated lock washer. Yes, it had "teeth". No doubt she still lives in fear of a recurrence. Mid-back pain justifiably puts her on edge.

Many people use apple cider vinegar as a form of alternative medicine to help with many different types of health ailments. Made from fermented ripe apples, apple cider vinegar contains many vitamins, potassium, sodium, magnesium, beta-carotene, calcium, pectin, iron and malic acid. Malic acid is known to fight bacterial and fungal infections as well as dissolve uric acid, which are the roots of many major kidney issues and problems such as toxin buildup, chronic renal failure, kidney stones and pyelitis.


Flushing Toxins



Many people use apple cider vinegar to eliminate toxins from the kidneys and bladder. These toxins can build up over time and are caused by processed foods and other environmental factors. Add 1 to 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar to an 8-oz. glass of water and drink it daily to prevent future problems. If the taste of the vinegar is too intense, add honey to the drink.


Chronic Renal Failure



Some people with ongoing renal issues use apple cider vinegar as a regular dietary supplement. The vinegar can act as a purifier to break down fatty deposits in the body and help prevent urine from being too alkaline. It is also sometimes used to help treat chronic renal failure in pets, such as horses, dogs or cats. The apple cider vinegar is added to food to bring down high pH levels. Discuss this natural treatment with a doctor or veterinarian to ensure it doesn't counteract with any other medications.


Kidney Stones



Apple cider vinegar is sometimes used to help with kidney stones. The theory behind it is that the acids in the vinegar can soften or dissolve kidney stones in order to break them up. One major ingredient in apple cider vinegar is potassium, which is known to be essential for the growth of the body and replacement of older tissues. Some kidney stones are caused by potassium deficiency, so that is why the vinegar may help.


Pyelitis



Pyelitis, also named pyelonephritis, is typically a kidney or urinary issue caused by bacteria in the bladder. It usually stems from some form of E. coli infection in the kidneys or urinary tract. Drink water with apple cider to flush out the bacteria. Some people believe that most kidney and urinary tract infections can be prevented before they begin by drinking a glass of water with 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar
