Jeff Conn says he "knew immediately that something was wrong because I was in severe pain." The pain of recurrent kidney stones kept this developer away from the job site. "I hated to be away." But there was no way Jeff could work through that agony.

"The pain of kidney stones is legendary," he says. Mayo Clinic Nephrologist Dr. William Haley and Urologist Dr. Michael Wehle want to stop the pain of kidney stones for people like Jeff.  How?  By teaching people how to prevent them.  "We can be successful 90% of the time of preventing that next stone," says Dr. Haley.
