Hi Karla,

Just wanted to let you know that I read your post and I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. Yes, you do need to see a urologist. I had a kidney stone last July and I am still having flank pain. They did surgery to find the stone, but couldn't find it. Now they think it's adhesions. I sure would like to know where that stone went though. Good Luck to you and you will be in my prayers. Need to go now. My bed is calling me. LOL.

Take Care,
