Here's what I gave birth via the "natural pathways..."
Surprisingly, it didn't hurt anymore once it reached the bladder. Even more surprising is when it jammed in the urethra, all I had to do was give it a gentle push, and it came out without causing any pain. All the pain was caused by its travel down the ureter -- which took NINE MONTHS!!!
The stone caused many attacks during those nine months. The urologist even misread the X-ray that was taken in January of last year. I have a copy of it, and could clearly see the stone in the ureter just behind the pelvis.
The doctors were SUPPOSE to remove it, but following delay after delay, the stone itself got impatient and came out on its own. I haven't had a recurrence since (cross fingers).
Johnny, good luck and drink lots of water. Pee is an excellent rinse agent.
