Lithotripsy: Stones can be pulverized by sound waves so that the small fragments can pass in the urine. Please discuss this option with your doctor.

I have a 10mm stone in my left ureter and three smaller stones in the left kidney. The doctor says ESWL is not an option to remove the stones; only ureteroscopy can remove them. Can a urologist here please tell me why my doctor said that? Thank you?

I'm having ESWL soon due to small kidney stones that won't pass and they're causing infections. Is it easy for a doctor to miss the stones and cause kidney damage if missed?

A member asked:

I had kidney stones with pain in my left side a few weeks ago. This week I had pain in my RUQ and right neck/shoulder. My doctor suspects cholecystitis this time. Could there be a connection between the two? I also have a small lump on my collarbone?
