<s>[INST] Hi, I am prone to kidney stones, I have spongy kidneys and have had 3 surgical procedures to remove kidney stones by using yag laser, now they say I have uncountable stones once again and are suggesting another round of yag laser. The doctor that is doing the surgery (procedure) is a wonderful person and I do not fault what he is doing for me, but, I feel that there is more that could or should be done to cure me of this horrid problem. I have anywhere up to 100 stones lodged in each kidney at anytime. help please, this has been ongoing for more than 10 years. [/INST] HelloThanks for query.
