Answers:

Actually, a follow up check-up would be advisable. If you still had the stone, the doctor could examine it to see if it is abnormal. I have had three episodes--one requiring surgery, so I say this not as a doctor wanting you to spend more of your money, but as a patient. You need not have it sent to the lab for other problems--I didn't want it sent there, and my doctor obliged (at least in my case).

Drinking lots of fluids is good. You should drink a glass of water, lemonade, or some juices on the hour for about 10 hours during the day. Just make it a part of your daily routine. I know that sounds like a lot, but you remember what the pain was like every time it moved through your system.

Also, stay away from foods high in oxalate. You can check the Internet for further foods 9or better yet ask your doctor for an official list), but things such as chocolate and nuts should be abandoned entirely or eaten in moderation only and with an extra glass or two of water or fluids taken with it.

Once you get it once, you are more susceptible again. So, please go back to the doctor. It may also be that only a part of the stone broke off, especially since you are still in pain.

Good luck!
