Just read my results again. It shows 50% calcium phosphate and 50% calcium oxalate.

Sorry that you are experiencing kidney stone problems. Do you take any prescription or OTC meds or nutritional supplements on a regular basis? What is your primary diet?

I take one potassium citrate a day (99 mg) and if I have trouble going to the restroom, I take oxybutnin. I take aleve if I’m hurting. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, eggs, tuna, and chicken. Thank you for responding

Largest stone was on my left side, 1.9 cm. I don’t want that surgery again

Sometime we just have chronic kidney stones, Its a genetic trait with me, my father had them, I have them, my son has them. I always have stones in my kidneys, have one kidney that only functions at 20% (different issue) and pass stones minium of 4 times a year. I've had past surgeries to remove large stones and many stints. Its a chronic condition that just is... Not something medical Dr.'s can "fix". My son has stones 8-9 times a year right now because he's only 29 and won't commit to a strict diet yet...he's an idiot, but he's learning the hard way...through a lot of pain.

What is your typical daily/weekly fluid intake?

Brotha I’m your age and in your exact same situation 2 stones one in each kidney. I’ve passed 9 from age 16 to 29 and I feel your pain. Right now pain meds, water, citric drinks or if it’s bad surgery like lithotripsy. I had a lithotripsy when I was 17 and it ain’t fun but drinking lots of fluids and diet is a good preventive.

I passed one stone. Hoping the other passes soon. Working on my fluid intake. It’s definitely gone up after all of this. But still something I need to work on. The whole situation seems hopeless at times. I appreciate everyone interactions. It’s good to know we aren’t alone in this.

Hello, I just posted this same info in another members post. But, it bears repeating. Your best bet for 100% natural pain relief and also prevention/reduction of stones is Chanca Piedra aka “Stone Breaker.” I have been using this herb for over 2 years now on a daily basis. It is literally a miracle herb. I no longer need pain meds or opiates. I take it as a tea and in capaules. You can find both on Amazon. I have the stuff auto-shipped every month.

The other thing to add to your diet is freshly squeezed organic lemon juice. The citrate in lemons helps dissolve stones and prevents new ones from forming. Don’t buy the bottled juices; as they have been pasteurized (not as potent). Just grab a bag of lemons and a lemon juicer tool/press. Add it to your water. Minimum 1 lemon a day!

These additions have had miraculous impact on my kidney stone situation. I now pass them without even knowing somwtimes. Its crazy!

Good luck!

Thank you for the advice! I have been doing the fresh lemon juice and added Chanca Piedra. I tried it before surgery but never thought to use it as maintenance.

Should I still take potassium citrate?
