To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Anyone have this happen AFTER surgery I passed a rather large stone 5 years ago. After I passed it I underwent 2 lithropsy’s which were both unsuccessful to break up the much larger stone located in my lower right kidney. Since the surgeries my testicles ache every once and a while. It seems to me that its when I eat spicy or greasy food. When the ache starts it really affects me psychologically. I have to immediatley stop what I am doing for fear of another stone attack. I used to have these weekly and now maybe happens every other week. I have gotten slightly better at dealing with this mentally but still changes my whole life. Does anyone have any similar stories or suggestions. The ONLY next step they say is to wait and if one drops, I have to get the surgery where they go in through my back and shut down part of the kidney to remove this which is a major surgery that I want to avoid. But 5-6 years of the mental anguish have me ALMOST wanting to just get the surgery. HELP???!!! Comments
