Yes i have experienced this before and they dont have the answers, this was last year and now i am going through it agian!! its so sad that no one can tell me why this is happening. My stone by the way were 9 and 8's they had to blast them thru surgery and stent for 3 weeks. I am right with you on being confused, scared and i have to say good luck! Keep me posted if you can on here! Also they told me that my left kidney is enlarged and the left ureter is inflamed and swollen, but this could be "normal" for me, is having to go to the er 2 times in 1 week "normal" to anyone!!!
