Rick,
I have "passed" two and been operated on for two. Unfortunately, if you are on the hefty side (me)--they can not 'blast' it away. They have to go in and surgically remove it. Now I drink water like it is going out of style. My sympathy is with you. Good luck. For those of you who do not know--they say Kidney Stone pain is worse than having a baby. I wasn't sure until I met a woman who had had both and she said the Stone was much more painful!!
