Depends what they are made out of. I have been drinking a shit load of water for 6 months now.
Mine are twice as big as the tubes that link the bladder and kidneys. They aren’t going through without help. I would prefer the pain, I have a high pain threshold and a condition which causes me pain on a daily basis anyway. My issue is with operations, although that is a mental thing.The Lithotripsy sounds much better than both scenarios above though. No knife and less pain.
