OK so I am tired of this stupid stone already. Friday it moved to bladder per CT . The doc said if not gone by Tuesday that he will take it out in the office. How do they do this? As much as I want to get rid of this STUPID STONE, this sound dubious but I truct my uro completely.

My Urologist tried that on me a couple years ago. It hurt like hell and he wasn't able to grab the stone afterall, so I still had to go to the hospital for a Lithotripsy. I told him afterwards that that was barbaric and he was NEVER going to try that on me again!!! If I were you, I wouldn't do it unless he uses a local anesthetic first. Good luck.
