I have had lower abdominal pains for over a year. I've had several bladder infections, but the dr. never requests follow up specimins to see if the infection has been cleared. I saw a rheumatologist 5 or 6 months ago. He did a CT scan on my abdomin when I told him about the pain. He found a small cyst on my bladder, and kidney stones. My family dr. gave me another prescription for a bladder infection, but said the cyst was very small and the stones really aren't crystalizing. I still have pain in the canal, but not consistently. It isn't too painful when they pass. Should I just let things ride while it isn't too painful, or is there something to do to eliminate it all? I drink lots of water, but I was told that tea is bad for stones. Any advice?:)

Thanks,
Trish
