    Hi . I had lithotripsy a week ago . I have had no signs of passing anything . I'm drinking two litres of water a day . Am I to assume that the treatment hasn't worked . Thank you

    Did they tell you that there was still some stone remaining at the end of the treatment (and that you needed a second course)?

    Or maybe the stone was reduced to dust??

    I was told that I would need a second course but, on arrival, there was no remaining stone to be found so they sent me home.

    I think I know when it passed as there was some slight burning sensation on passing water for about a day but I never saw anything pass and was pleasantly surprised to find that the stone had gone completely.

    If you're getting no symptoms now then keep your fingers crossed that it's gone.

    You won't know for sure though until your next x-ray.
