stone research centre - #21325
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and need some insight about this whole thing with the stone research centre. Okay, so a few months back, I started noticing this really weird pain in my side, like it would come and go but was pretty intense when it hit. After some tests, my doc mentioned I might have kidney stones or something, which freaked me out honestly, especially when I heard about all the treatments. Then, I got referred to this stone research centre, and I'm wondering if that’s a good next step? Like what do they even do there? I read some stuff about them having advanced treatments and all, but I’ve also seen people say it’s a bit of a money grab. Do you guys think going to a stone research centre is worth it? I mean, what kind of tests or treatments would they do that’s different from a regular urologist? I just really want to avoid any crazy procedures if possible and find out if there’s real help at the stone research centre. Also, has anyone else been there? What was your experience like? Sorry if I’m rambling but just feeling kinda lost here!
