Go to stone clinic : You need to go to a place that specializes in kidney stones. If your blood and urine calcium is high you have hyperparathyroidism and need to find a surgeon that deals with difficult cases. If your blood and urine calcium are not high you probably are taking in too little calcium which will increase parathyroid hormone and increase stone risk due to the increase in oxalate absorption.

? wrong diagnosis.: You may not have actually hyperparathyroidism or you could have an extra abnormal parathyroid in what we call and ectopic location. Get a second endocrinology opinion. You have had too much surgery.
