Yes they are very expensive with surgery. My wife, two years ago, had the lithotripsy done to break up a stone 2/3 the size of a dime and from beginning to end it would have cost us close to $48,000 without insurance.

trlcavscout hope your wife recovers fast!

Hope your wife recovers soon.

kidney stone and gout is one of the most painful thing I've faced.
I drink more water. I try to prevent eating too rich purine foods.
I also take 200-400% of daily recommandation of folic acid.

+500 on the Gout

Never had a stone, I am also smart enough that I have not shot myself in the foot (Yet).
I can only imagine that if I had shot myself in the foot with a .50AE or 454 Cassul, that's what Gout feels like.

No More shellfish,
cut WAAY back on Ham,(twice a month Maybe)
ALLOT more water
Purines way back.

If you think you can't get gout, Think again.
and once you have it, its for life.
You may not have a flare... but its there.

I know that pain first hand, and it gets even worse when all that water builds up pressure inside to force out the stone, Sorry your Mrs. has to go through this. Our prayers are with her
