Close Depression

I was born with a horseshoe kidney. In 1976 I thought I was having gastro problems until I doubled over. That is when I found out about the kidney and I have stones. I had 3 major surgeries to get the stones out. I get recurrent stones because of the horseshoe kidney. I have had one cystoscopy and one percutaneous procedure. I then had 6 lithotripsy. In March 2009 the doctor when in to get the rest of the stones out being I had the litho in October 2008. No one has ever suggested that before. He said that he could make money doing litho but that is not solving problem being I was getting frequent infections. I now have a stent and it is driving me up the wall. I hope to meet everyone here ! ! thanks, Sheila
