Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about your struggles with this kidney stone and the repeated failures of lithotripsy.

From the information you have provided, I will suggest that you strongly consider surgery. On three occasions, this procedure has failed and I for real wonder if it is going to yield any more likely positive results on further trials. Also, the diameter of this stone is huge to be considered an easy to deal with stone.

This stone cannot pass through urine. 8.2mm is impossible to make it way out through urine. Go get surgery for the correction and hope all works out good. See a urologist for this. Best wishes.
