Take with or without food every 4-6 hours or as needed.
My last episode with stones was one at 5 centimeters and two about 3 centimeters big at the same time, I passed the two smaller ones in 3 days but they had to go in and get the 5 centimeter stone, wasn't pretty at all. Pretty embarassing when the nurse comes in to remove the shunt, grabs hold of your little friend and says this won't hurt, lean back and take a deep breath ... OW!
Everyone used to tell me to drink cranberry juice to help pass them but my doc who is one of the best from Boston said " DO NOT " drink cranberry juice, it is one of the leading causes of stones and can and will make a stone grow bigger if you have one, and if you don't have one then they tend to promote the growth of one.
Soda is also on the list but is okay in moderation, but any kind of berry juice will promote them.
I have Robert Lang as my urologist and he practiced in Boston for 10 years before moving down my way for the last 15, he's also one of my customers so I keep his cell number on speed dial for when my ususal events arise and I'm in need.
Did they tell you where the stone was caught? The kidney is harder to pass a stone from because it has to go up before it can come down and the tube hurts just as much but a 3 centimeter stone should pass within a couple of days unless its one of those "stag-horned" stones, they look like deer antlers growing out of a rock.
Good luck and drink plenty of fluids.
