IVAN: I think you meant to refer to Cenk, the original poster. I'm not the one with the penile pain. Gallstone however would definitely not be the case, as the gall bladder connects to the digestive tract and the pain of gallstones is always localized to the bile duct (bile being another name for gall). There is no way for a gallstone to get to the ureter. However a kidneystone, which usually is a calcium deposit is another matter. This is something, however which is right up the urologists' alley and is almost certainly what they were looking for with the ultrasounds.
>I'm curious about this Cenk - does it hurt more or burn when you pee? - that would seem to suggest some object passing through the urethra or some damage inside it.

CHARLES II: Sorry about the error. Burning sensation, *only* when peeing, is often an excess of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), but that doesn't seem to be what he described.
