How Can A Kidney Stone Be Removed?
My son is 42 and has 2mm kidney stone. GP gave him pain melds and said drink lots of fluids for it to pass. Over a week later, still in agony p, drinking lots of fluids and no stone yet. How long should one wait before seeing urologist. First urologist with opening in Frisco, Tx area is in 3 weeks even though GP sent CT scan and referral several days ago.
