Is ultrasound lithotripsy not an option?

I actually don’t know the answer. I’ll have to check.
A quick rundown. I’m in my 40s. This is my fifth or sixth stone over 15 years. I’ve had this bout for about 3 months now, which is not unheard of for me. This stone is 5mm with a possible second one hidden behind it. Another small one in the kidney that he’ll try to snag. Maybe that gives some light into why sound wave therapy not offered. But I will follow up with doc on this.

Worst part for me was the stent removal.

Tell me more about this! What does this involve? Sounds terrible.
