> tdaneenFrom what I've read about kidney stones... they can indeed be small enough to not show up in x-rays. I would think, however, that these would be the type that would be passed spontaneously. Did you get a strainer? Come to think of it, I think you can get a strainer at a well-equipped drug store. If you ever have another one and it's actually big enough to see, you can "capture" it and take it to the doctor.
