A man should never be dilated to 1.2. It just wouldn't be right.

Time to get a blood test and get your uric acid levels.
Likely they will be high to very high.

Then start taking allopurinol to knock down the uric acid levels.
(or febuxostat which is new, works better, but expensive)

In the meantime get a prescription for FLOMAX to
help expand things to get the stones out.

Otherwise gaot will soon follow. While kidney stones are the most
painful things ever, your big toe turning into a baseball is not so
much fun either. Especially when you have to put shoes on.

I can't imagine the kind of pain passing a kidney stone would cause, and I hope I never experience it. An aunt of mine that had a 52 hour labor said she go through that 10 more times to avoid experience of passing a kidney stone she had months after that birth. *jaw dropped*

I've never experienced kidney stones, but a few weeks ago I had my first ever experience with gout. You're right, it's not much fun at all.

That's what i take everyday

. Have only been doing it for a few months though so i assume it takes years to develop?

I think I only took vitamin supplements for about a year or so before this happened. I married a vegetarian, and pretty much stopped eating meat then (except for fish), so I was worried I'd somehow fall apart without compensating for whatever deficiencies by taking vitamins. I've always gotten a good amount of calcium from dairy products in my regular diet, so I suppose it was counterproductive to supplement what was already there in abundance.

I thought it was braille too.

Any updates?
