Hello Dr. My name is Cheryl, U m looking for someone who can help me with Kidney Stones. I have had about 20 surgeries (lithotripsy) and I know my stones are Calcium Deposits, what can I do? Is there a pill or something that can help me! I am trying to pass one now on my own, on my right side, which I have never had any problems on, always my left kidney, so now both are acting up! I an scheduled for surgery in Feb. for the removal of a 17 milimeter stone! I m just so tired of all of this! My Dr. says there s nothing that can be done, I m just one of the 20percent of the population that gets stones! I just can t believe that! Other than the stones I am a healthy 54 year old women. Never mind! Thought this was free one time advice.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  It appears that you are lacking the knowledge on the stones. I will try to say something on this issue.  There are some tips to prevent the formation of the stones, depending upon the type of stone.  First thing to prevent all sorts of stones is the Chat Doctor.  1) Calcium Oxalate Stones can be prevented by- Reducing sodium by avoiding hot dogs, canned soups and vegetables, processed frozen foods.  Reducing animal protein, such as meat, eggs, and fish Getting enough calcium from food or taking calcium supplements with food.  Avoiding foods high in oxalate, such as spinach, rhubarb, nuts, and wheat bran.  2) Calcium Phosphate Stones-Reducing sodium.  Reducing animal protein.  Getting enough calcium from food or taking calcium supplements. With food 3)Uric Acid Stones can be prevented by- Limiting animal protein.  Lunch eon meats.  Fast food.  Try these steps to prevent the kidney stones.  I usually prescribe NEE RI syrup, or cyst one tablets for longer periods to prevent the formation of the kidney stones, or to resolve the formed stones.  Wishing you good luck. Thank you.
