Dear Ginny, If you can find doctors who have had kidney stones, they are much more receptive to pain problems because no matter how much they try to "tough" it out, they all wind up taking morphine or something for the pain. There is a new drug for kidney stones on the market so this may not last long as a tip. Love, Sally
