I can't imagine being a guy and going through this. I've had stones off/on since I was 13 yo, but none were as big as either one of these. Kinda po's me that 2 general practitioners though a 7mm stone wasn't big enough to anything with. Now that one has grown to 12mm. All I can imagine is that it will be like passing shards of broken glass.
