" Turns out my body decided to handle business all on its own. No surgery needed, three of the four stones passed on their own, and the other one is so little we're giving it till next year to see if it passes to.. THE RELIEF. If you suffer from kidney stones, you get it, it's on another level," she wrote.

She then laid out the warning signs her body gave her before she took action and had the kidney stones checked out.

"If stones are really small, it is possible to let them pass naturally, but always consult a doctor first," she added.

Jojo did everything in her power to remove the stones, from drinking up to three litres of water with lemon, magnesium tablets, and apple cider vinegar mixed into juice, walking and consulting her doctor.
