What is shock wave lithotripsy?
Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) is the most common treatment for kidney stones in the U.S. Shock waves from outside the body are targeted at a kidney stone causing the stone to fragment. The stones are broken into tiny pieces. lt is sometimes called ESWL: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy®.
These are what the words mean:
extracorporeal: from outside the body
shock waves: pressure waves
lithotripsy (the Greek roots of this word are "litho" meaning stone, "tripsy" meaning crushed)
So, SWL describes a nonsurgical technique for treating stones in the kidney or ureter (the tube going from the kidney to the bladder) using high-energy shock waves. Stones are broken into "stone dust" or fragments that are small enough to pass in urine. lf large pieces remain, another treatment can be performed
This is the kidney stone procedure I had on Feb 11, 2015.
This is the second time i had this. It is now Friday feb 13. 2015.

I'm feeling discouraged
I do not see many grains from the kidney stone passing.
I'm taking my final day of antibiotics.
There is still some blood in my urine on Day Four
Here is a YouTube about this SWL procedure.

I am exploring using herbs to increase the breakdown of particles from my broken down kidney stone.
The kidney specialist called herbs voodoo medicine not based on science.
Thus comment got under my skin.
I did a cold infusion of marshmellow root tea last night.
The doctor said to wait till monday before I begin to use herbs.
He was concerned I would mess up his work.
He appeared more concerned with his work than with me.
ANTIBIOTICS
I struggled with the use of taking the antibiotics yesterday
Antibiotics cause diarrhea I'm convinced.
They wipe out my healthy Flora.
I have been struggling with diarrhea for eight months now.
I had a Nother round of antibiotics about eight months ago.
The diarrhea pecan suddenly when I went to Hot Springs.
I was recently recovered from my last lithotripsy.
