You Need workup: You need a stone metabolic workup and may need medical management of stones. The metabolic work-up will give an idea of your risk factors for stone formations and how to go about helping you. You need to see a urologist &/or nephrologist. I like to involve the nephrologist in the care of my patients with recurrent stone disease.
