Hi. I Have Had Kidney Stones Through Out My Life.

hi. I have had Kidney stones through out my life. I was stone free since 2013, with the usual occurrences approx. 7-10 stones a year that were of significance. I needed to loose weight and changed all my eating habits. I began a low lipid diet and ate lots of leafy greens and morning protein shakes made with a powder and a carb down milk substitute. I recently had an impacted 4mm jack stone lodged in my right ureter. Lithotripsy and a stent...5 days later I was better. During that time, I was having a sensation in my penis that made it feel like it went to sleep, similar to your foot going to sleep. The pain was worse than the stone because of not being able to move or adjust. That has been for the last month. Two days ago, I started having pain in my opposite flank. I was told had had small stones in my other kidney, so I figured it would pass, and all would be well. Today, the pain in my penis came back. Is there a specialist I should be sein besides my Urologist? Any ideas of what can be causing the sudden pain there?
