I know several people who have had lithotripsy to break up the stones into small pieces that are then passed in the urine. Here's a link with more information:

It is non-invasaive so it won't put your Mom under additional stress. I hope she feels better soon.
Kidney stone can be diagnosed just by the pain and where it is and where it goes, but Xray or CT scan is the very best and most reliable way to diagnose kidney stone.
There is no medication for kidney stones, but there are medications which can control the pain. Your sister should talk with her doctor about this.
There are many ways to treat kidney stones. The simplest way is for the person to drink plenty of fluids, walk a lot and pee a lot. This is usually very effective. If this doesn't work then the doctor might have to use other methods.
There is no diet which will make kidney stones go away.
Yes, it's possible for her to have kidney stones in the future.
Once its passed its done, I had a kidney stone and I just gave it to my doctor the next morning in a sealed bag. He checked to see what type it was and let me know on my next appointment. The pain is gone and that is that your recovery is no time at all.
I always love your art. Now I love your music
Oh, yeah. Been there, done that! Get that stone broken up NOW! I can't believe that they let you leave the hospital! That kidney is going to hypertrophy. Just think kinked garden hose. All of that back pressure is going to cause serious problems. There are a number of ways of getting that stone out. You'll have anesthesia, so no problems.
The only way is to try and flush it by drinking a lot and I mean a lot of water it will be painful to pass but much better and much less painful than losing a kidney.
Katie B,
You are very likely well aware of the following details, but in case there is something that you are not aware of, please read on. Your kidneys are responsible for removing excess fluid from your body and filtering out unneeded electrolytes and wastes from your blood, resulting in the production of urine. Kidney stones form when the minerals and acid salts in your urine crystallize, stick together, and solidify into a mass. This happens when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances, such as calcium and uric acid, than the available fluid can dilute. This can happen when urine is highly acid or highly alkaline. The conditions allowing kidney stones to form are created by problems in the way your body absorbs and eliminates calcium and other substances. Sometimes the underlying cause is a metabolic disorder or kidney disease. Certain drugs can also promote kidney stones, such as Lasix (furosemide), Topomax (topiramate), and Xenical, among others. Many times, it is a combination of factors that create an environment favorable to stone formation. Most kidney stones contain crystals of multiple types. However, usually one type predominates, and determining the type helps the doctor/laboratory identify the underlying cause:1. Calcium stones. The most common type (four out of five cases)is usually in the form of calcium oxalate. Oxalate is found in some fruits and vegetables, but your liver produces most of your oxalate. If you are found to have oxalate stones, your doctor may recommend avoiding foods rich in oxalates, such as dark green vegetables, nuts and chocolate. 2. Struvite stones: Found more often in women, these are almost always the result of urinary tract infections. 3. Uric acid stones. These are a byproduct of protein metabolism.They’re commonly seen with gout,and may result from certain genetic factors and disorders of your blood-producing tissues. 4. Cystine stones. Represent a very small percentage of kidney stones.These are the result of a hereditary disorder that causes your kidneys to excrete massive amounts of certain amino acids (cystinuria). If you are menstruating and if the stone is causing haemorrhaging, then the blood loss may well show slightly greater, depending on the amount of haemorrhaging that is taking place. However, you should bear in mind that the total amount of blood lost due to the normal monthly period is usually less than 80ml. The amount of blood loss due to your kidney stone is unlikely to be as great as this under “normal” circumstances.

A kidney or renal stone is a stone in the urinary/renal system such as the kidney, ureters, bladder, etc.. A renal/kidney stone can be passed if it is not too large. A gallstone is a stone in the gallbladder or common bile duct and requires surgery for removal.
My stone is 2mm and it descended into my ureter on August 18.
It's now September 13 and it's still in there, although it is now at the end of the ureter and close to dropping into my bladder.
So I'm coming up on 4 weeks.
It wasn't until August 24 that I started drinking the recommended minimum of 2 quarts per day. I think things would have moved along faster had I started drinking sooner, but frankly I just felt too crappy.
wow!
hi all everybody plz watches in my videos and rating .. plz plz plz !!!!!
superb!!
Beautiful video!
Omfg, it just looks like a picture
Take equal parts of lemon juice and olive oil. Two ouces of each should be sufficient. Follow with lots of water. Following link has testimonials on this home remedy.
(This remedy is for people that know they have a kidney stone. Seeing a doctor might be the best idea if you aren't sure).
Cranberry juice is good. Apple cider may work, but, olive oil and lemon juice in equal parts is best.
