How you can break kidney stones without surgery.

As having experienced hundreds of these damn things over the past 8 years or so and have had surgery a couple times when they were too large to pass.  A lot of this depends on what the stone is made of. There are 2 types; Calcium and Urich Acid. 

Calcium ones can be broken up by using Ultrasound sometimes but not so with Urich ones. Information from reliable Nurses and X-ray Techs and DRs on this, and they say coke and lots of it can help break them too. 

Otherwise you may just have to pass it but once vomiting starts, because of extreme pain, head for ER.  Most can pass stones up to 4-5MM but anything larger needs surgery.  I can now pass up to 9MM and don't even feel them go thru anymore.

Blood in the urine is a good sign the stone is slowly moving but they don't pass quickly as last time I had to go to ER for an enormous one.  It took almost 3 weeks after ER visit to pass but it broke up on way out. 

If you have recurring stones like I do, the DRs can put you on Allopurinol, a 50s med that helps dissolve Urich Acid which also causes Gout.  So most of what I've learned is drink and drink to create back pressure to blow that baby right on out.

And I’ve also heard a couple of beer a week will also help prevent them, but sweet iced tea is kidney stones best friend.  
I really sympathize with you here and pray for a quick passing.

Also Diladid is great for pain but has to be given intravenously at ER. Another point that may help, I’ve been told is when you’re sleeping, trying to lay on the opposite side of where the stone is reliefs.
