Wow thanks everyone. I got to the doctor and yep plenty of fluids, some pain pills and and another to help the flow. Very interesting stuff from Matt-thanks!
Hopefully I'll get rid of this thing, much to my surprise it isn't that large (felt like a golf ball to me) but it's still got a way to go, so back to drinking for now!
Thanks everyone, I'll keep you posted.
Pete

I was having a stone a week for about 2 months and they finally sent me in for an Cat scan. That's how they discovered the spots on my lungs.

It turns out that I was having stones because I was taking Naproxen (Aleve) for my shoulder pain. An unpublished side effect of it is kidney stones. I now know what its like to give birth.


The more water you can drink, the faster you'll pass it.
