I have a colic kidney once again no pain meds can't afford er visit is there anything i can do naturally to stop this i have 4 stones and it is sponge?

Medullary sponge k: if you truly have been diagnosed with medullary sponge kidney, you're likely to continue making small kidney stones. It may be possible to break up the larger stones with shockwave lithotripsy. See a urologist for the current ureteral colic evaluation. A nephrologist may be helpful in preventing stones and dealing with MSK in the future

Yes: There is a plethora of information on the web and from nutritionists on how to shrink and reduce stones by diet, hydration, and 7 or 8 natural supplements, look up dr Jenna Henderson online. Her address is holistic-kidney.com, that would be a good first place to start, main idea is diet modification
