Close Kidney Stones

I started with a trip to the hospital in September 07 with a sever onset of right flank pain. A kidney stone was not diagnosed until April 08 but when they went in to blast it they could not find it. I started to have constant pain and caught a stone (80% Apatate Carbonate and 20% calcium Oxy.)and in July 08 another CT scan showed an 8mm stone that was broken up. I now have a diagnoses of Chronic pain syndrom and seem to have attacks of stones every 4 to 6 weeks.

Treatments

Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working

I am taking allopurinal to decrease the uric acid and more recently drinking lemon juice to increase the acidity. I still continue to produce stones.

Surgery Working / Worked

Once the stone fragments had passed pain decreased but I still continue to have kidney stones

Physical Therapy Working / Worked

in has reduced the pain especially with the addition of accupuncture
