Default Re: gallstones

I had one kidney stone that was almost the size of a ping pong ball! When I saw the IVP film I was totally grossed out, and in panic. I don't care how well endowed you are; a ping pong ball ain't gonna make it out! It took 2 months before it finally reached a point when I was able to have it surgically broken up and removed. Definitely the most painful time in my life. As a nurse I'm skeptical of these 'cleanses', but if it avoids the pain of a renal or gall stone, try it!
