Of course, I still have a few old ones (2 in left kidney, 1 in right) which occasionally remind me of their presence.
Oh my! How long have they been there?

That would be lithotripsy & unfortunately it is not a pill. I have had the procedure 3 times to break up stones since I don't ever pass them. I just collect.
If you do pass one & you can collect it, you can take it to a urologist to analyse, which can point to why you are producing them. In my case, it was a benign tumor on a parathyroid gland that was creating an over-production of calcium. A quick slice & dice & that was gone which has stopped my kidney stone machine.

Good luck. In my case nothing worked for the pain except a bag of Demerol. No amount of cannabis worked & even Oxys barely scratched the surface. A hot bath works for short-term relief.
I've got 2 stones in my left kidney that are "deep in the meat" that may or may not move at all, according to my urologist. I'll see him in another 8 months to have an x-ray to see if they have moved or grown. If they've done neither, I'll see him a year after that for the same thing.Oh my! How long have they been there?
I went by the docs office and grabbed a stone sifter.
It actually looks like something you make kief with. Lol
Collapsible cup with screen in the bottom. And a stone collection chamber built in to the top.
Hopefully I will pass one soon, to get tested.
