Lithotripsy only has a 70% chance of working unless the stone is still in your kidney, then it's almost 100% effective. I have to bring my kid in for another x-ray to see if it's moved at all since last week. It hadn't a week after her first treatment, and it looks like she'll need a second shock. The stone is in her ureter and blocking the flow from her kidney so she has a nephrostomy bag in place to drain it. I'm not trying to hijack your post, I'm just letting you know that we're going through the same thing here and I'm pulling for you to get through this quickly as I can see how it's effecting my daughter and nobody should have to go through that kind of pain for that long. Good luck and a speedy recovery to you.

yeah it worked fine
and it got me off the damned percasets....
which for me<- anyways .....is like being stumbling drunk...
i don't like them,(percs) but they are preferable to the pain...
funny thing ..tramadol is a pain killer...
but it doesn't act like a narcotic does. (correction) i'm still learning.
and thanks jklett .... yeah, the stone is still in my kidney,,,
first time (last april was an overnight affair) i had no idea what it was
this time it was a week long battle....

Raven.
You got that right about the collapsing funnel, total pain in the @$$.
Do what I did after about 1 hour of using the funnel, throw it away and get a clear bottle so you can see anything inside. Just rinse out after use and your good to go, also no mess using a bottle compared to the screen.
With the bottle you not only save the stone(s) but you also have a urine sample ready for the lab techs.
Chocolate is definately a no no as well as soda, but not off the list for life, just use it in moderation.
