A member asked:
I have had 3 laser lithotripsy and 1 shock wave lithotripsy on my left kidney. is it possible that the procedures could have damaged my kidneys or surrounding organs? i have had constant terrible pain in my left side for 8 years now.

Urologist: Eight years is a long time to put up with pain. Please see a urologist for an evaluation. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Wish you good health!
