[QUOTE="Tom Conklin, post: 1228862, member: 61595"] I had my first stone over 30 years ago and I've had two or three serious incidents since so I am well aware of tests and treatments! The big change in that time is medication. As I said earlier Naproxen (a strong anti-inflammatory) and Flomax (Tamsulosin - a muscle relaxant treatment primarily for prostrate issues) work very well for dealing with the smaller stones and day to day particulates. Needless to say I am also aware of nutritional concerns and water intake as well as pee colour indicators etc. What I am interested in is anecdotal evidence from others on the Camino who may have had the same issues, particularly post-Camino. Interestingly, in four rather extended walks I have never had stone incidents. In fact, I find that walking cures the many ailments that afflict me (back spasms, multiple meniscus tears and other arthritis related ailments). It is a great testament to the power of walking if nothing else. And to some it might be one of those Camino miracles we like to attribute to challenging hiking in beautiful places with like-minded human beings. [/QUOTE]
