My son-in-law has had severe kidney stones for 8 months. I can t even tell you how many times he has been in the hospital and lays in excruciating pain. They have put in stints 3 times, have gone into the kidneys and removed stones, 24 hr urine collection and given heavy duty pain meds for months. We cant go on like this what do you suggest?

There are many diseases in which pat has tendency for recurrent stone. If they are causing obstruction stents are needed.24 hr urine collection and analysis is needed to know etiology or type of stone. And then some Chat Doctor. Your reports are needed to guide you properly. Special test like 24 hour urinary calcium, phosphorous,oxalate, uric acid needed
