    Nasty looking. I’ve had over 2 dozen over the years. Had laser treatment for stones that were too large to pass. If you aren’t you should get yourself under the care of a good urologist. There is medication (potassium citrate and others) that can stop stones from forming and reduce in size stones you already have and lifestyle changes that can really help. Also through my research I have found over the counter magnesium supplements (magnesium citrate) can also stop stones from forming. Good luck to you.

    Had my first last year. It was brutal. I couldn't believe how much pain such a small thing could cause. Needless to say that experience motivated me to:
    -Hydrate more
    -Mix in more orange juice and lemon water to my diet

    I'm trying to eat less sugar and carbs and eat better. I think mine was 3mm I have a photo at home.

    It's a big red light when it happens to make food and drink changes that's for sure.
