1st time passed into the funnel while at work, 2nd time they did the sound wave smash up thing (technician's famous words "this won't hurt", she was sooo wrong), third time I tried the olive oil mixed with lemon juice home remedy, this was extremely bad tasting and I can't say it really did the trick but after drinking this mixture just once, the stone passed the next day....all three episodes hurt like h*ll so I feel your pain....hang in there as best you can....
