So I was in the er again on Wed night. They did a ct scan and found no stone...however, they did find, what they are calling it, a nodule on my left adrenale gland. Radiologist "thinks" it is just a benign cyst like thing, but they arent sure. Now I am waiting to hear from my urologist to find out what he wants to do!!! Anyone else have anything like this? Not sure what to think about it!!!
