Is lithotripsy painful

2018-09-09 11:03:35
My brother is scheduled for a lithotripsy tomorrow. He developed kidney stone last year as well but they passed through urine. He is 37-years old and this time the stones are more in number so he has to undergo this procedure. I have heard that it can lead to significant pain. So I would like a doctor’s opinion on this, is lithotripsy painful?
