kidney stone operation laser - #17832

Palak

I am sitting here kinda stressed out cause I just found out I have a kidney stone, and they say I might need to get a kidney stone operation laser. The doctor explained it all, but honestly, I'm freaking out a bit. I mean I never thought I would be in this situation, right? Last month I was just having some back pain and thought it was just from lifting at the gym, then BAM, I'm told I need surgery! They did some tests, and the pain has been unbearable sometimes, especially when it gets acute. I read a bit about the kidney stone operation laser online, and it sounds kinda less invasive than traditional methods, which is good. But like, how long is recovery? Is it really as effective? Are there risks? I heard some people have to go back for more treatment after this kidney stone operation laser, and I just hope that doesn't happen to me! Just wondering if anyone has been through this or knows more about the process? Any tips on what to do before or even after the operation? This whole thing is just so overwhelming and I need to know what to expect!
