because they don't when i will start to glow.I've been on all the meds.I take one med and my stones go from calcium to uric acid.and i have the great gout to.At one time they were going to take my right kidney but i get them in both sides.I'm trying to find out what the lithotripsy is doing to me.
If they try something new with him let me know me and wife would love to hear what they are trying. GOOOD LUCK
