I’ve had these. They are invisible to scans, unlike kidney stones.

There are meds that lower uric acid count. Since I’ve been taking them, I haven’t had these issues anymore.

If he’s had an EGD (he said he did) then it’s probably not that. Actually from what he described he’s had an extremely

Probably a terrible idea

Bill

If it gets severe I’ll deal with it. The human body comes with lots of pains
