Glen, I've had the stint before, had to keep it for 3 months.My stint was due to a 6cm stone and a diabetic flare up at the same time, had to treat the diabetese before the stone. I was having stones and gout at the rate of 1 to 2 episodes a month. The uroglist put me on polycitra(acid nuturalizer) and told me if I stayed the course I'd never have another stone. Glen, that was 4 yrs ago and to date NO gout NOR stones(I am a happy camper). Be the way I was so relieved for that stupid stint to come out while on another note I was so relieved to have had the stint in the 1st place. The stint did not hurt, you just allways knew it was there. Prayers are with ya...Steve and Nancy
