the stone master

I started getting stone when I was 27. That was 18 yrs ago and about 60 stones. You would think that I could be pass them with out pain . I think that more you pass the longer it takes. Now to pass a stone it can take up to 6 or 7 weeks if not more. And as always the pain is still as bad as the first one , but it last all of that time. I also have a 9mm stone embedded in my left kidney and the doctors tells me that I should not feel it. How would they know if they never had one.
