It's in the kidney, but keeps blocking the ureter. Since my health is so top notch to start with, I'm used to being in pain & have a much higher tolerance for pain than most, but this is even more than I can cope with and hold down work at the same time. My stone isn't a candidate for any of the wave/zapping therapies, unfortunately. I already have a team of specialists I see regularly for my chronic conditions, so it's not like I've blown this off or just gotten one opinion. Having another surgery is not a pleasant option for me, since I don't heal and tend to develop complications. I've been trying to deal with the pain & hope the stone goes away on its own.
