You can have a nephrolith (literal meaning is kidney stone) and not have what most people mean as kidney stone. The common name is what people have when the stone is trying to pass and is not going easy or at all. The other can be a stone that stays in the kidneys. Pretty painless. I have had both.
I can remember getting both a colonoscopy and endoscopy the same time. I hope that they didn’t use the same tube for my endoscopy as they did for the colonoscopy. I didn’t wake up with a bad taste in my mouth, so I’m guessing no.
Hey, I live in St Augustine. I heard someone complaining about gallstones in the line at the drug store. I wonder if it was ol’ Bill. (I’ve had both kidney and gallstones. Gallstones way more painful but easier to treat)
I have had one colonoscopy and have used those “Colo-Guard” tests ever since. So far no kidney or gallstones. A colleague had kidney stones and had a lithotripter treatment. We dig our graves with our teeth.
Oh honest to Pete! I hear this from fellow Pluggers and I just wanna’ head butt them and say: You’re still above ground! Everyday above ground is a good day

You don’t need to be “Pretty sure” about Kidney stones.They let you know they’re there with a fiery incapacitating pain.

“The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” has become nothing more than just an advertisement for a little blue pill.
