kidney stones and constipation

The pain that you describe in the flank region that also appears in the back and in the front can be due to kidney stones. You also have a past history of these. Hence there is a high chance of these. There could be an accompanying UTI. A kidney abscess too will cause similar symptoms but will present with a higher fever. The other possibility is that the ovarian cyst has got twisted. The third possibility of endometriosis can be considered if you have pain only around your periods.

My chronic constipation started around 3 years ago now, and I have had recurring kidney stones for 2. Before my constipation i ate quite badly, and had a few extra kilos. Now, i eat very healthily, all fruits vegetables, grains, lentils, fish you name it. i have lost quite a bit of weight, am now 47kg, every where except my horrible bloaty belly. I have horrible gas, and stinging pains...

Hello, Since the kindey stone is 7 mm, so the symptoms seem unrelated to the kidney stones. Since you are having pedal or leg edema, hence your cardiac, liver and kidney functions need to be assessed for which I suggest you to consult a physician immediately. Abdominal causes like irritable bowel syndrome can also cause such symptoms. Common symptoms include abdominal cramping or pain, bloating and gassiness, and altered bowel habits(alternate constipation and loose stools).

Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, infection in kidney, kidney stones, constipation, ovary involvement in women, ectopic pregnancy in women (ruled out due to long history) , and mesentry (a thin tissue that carries the blood, nerves and lymphatics for the intestine) involvement.

I had severe pain in my right side, was constipated, and nauseas. This particular time they found kidney stones, which passed. (I had an Xray, an ultrasound, and xray with dye). In July of 2007 I had another severe attack and was hospitalized with an infection for a week. It hurt so much that I could barely talk. They found another kidney stone and I was scheduled to have it removed in September. I had several more infections/ attacks between July and Sept.

ll be you feel pretty crummy too, eh? -Been there, done that, read the book. Any kidney stones yet? Constipation? Ache all over? Headaches? Heartburn? Rapid heart beats?

I can only add 2 points. Kidney stones can develop and grow very rapidly. Stones can develop in a few weeks to a month. An ultrasound is a very poor test for kidney stones as the sound waves must hit the stone and refract back perfectly to be seen. To start, a KUB (x-ray) is the best place to start. From the multiple symptoms you are experiencing, it would be best for you to see your doctor. Could be a number of causes.

The size, configuration, and location affect the spontaneous passage of these stones. However, these may recur. There are different of types of kidney stones and calcium oxalate is the most common stone that forms. To prevent them from forming regularly, drink plenty of water and have a proper diet. Take care and best regards.

This takes too much calcium from the bones and dumps it in the bloodstream, causing kidney stones, constipation, heartburn, GERD, you name it! It is not a fun disease, but out of all the endocrine problems, it is the ONE to get, because a simple surgery fixes it. DO NOT LET A DOCTOR TELL YOU TO WAIT AND SEE!!! WAITING CAUSES OSTEOPEROSIS AND A HOST OF OTHER ISSUES! Do not just take vitamin D or calcium meds. More calcium actually makes the stones, etc worse.

Could be several things..kidney stones are common in pregnant women, could be constipation, could be the baby sitting funny, etc...

You were right in suspecting appendicitis and kidney stones. Kidney stones can persist for years and cause symptoms only when they start moving. They can move, cause pain and again remain in a position for long periods of time. Similarly chronic appendicitis too can behave this way with bouts of pain, localization of infection and inflammation and a symptom free period.

muscle cramps or twitches, insomnia, irritability, sensitivity to loud noises, anxiety, autism, ADHD, heart palpitations, angina (a spasm of the arteries), constipation, spasms in the muscles, headaches, migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, asthma and kidney stones (which are caused by a calcium-magnesium imbalance); even diabetes and obesity are related to magnesium deficiency.

Can anyone advise me what to do, I've seen several doctors and had a stack of tests, all they have found is osteoporosis (I'm young), tonnes of kidney stones, blood,protein and white cells almost continuously in my urine, hi cortisol, non specific signs of inflammation, low BP and skipped beats.

I got severe stomach pain on jan 24 and next day the scanning result is that i got 2 small calculi in right kidney and hydronephrosis of left kidney with uretric caliculas. i was prescribed kmac syrup(potassium citrate & magnesium citrate oral solution), brakke (ofloxacin and ornidazole) tablets , hifenac spas(aceclofenac and drotaverine hydrochloride tablets) taking which i suffered constipation severely then i guessed may be the side effects of above drugs. i took them day after day.

Hello and hope you are doing well. This could be renal colic. Small stones can obstruct the passage of urine and when the body tries to 'push' against the blockade this results in colic, which is severe attacks of pain. The other causes for the pain could be infections of the bowel and bladder, prolapsed intervertebral disc or inflammatory diseases of the colon.

I am so terrified that I have one because I still have frequent urination and the feeling that I have to go right after I just went. No pain when urinating anymore. I have a long history with IBS and it's been bad this week with constipation could this be a factor? Please help. Thank you.

I had a kidney stone and went to the hospital, and was told it was 2 mm, and about to pass into my bladder where it wouldn't hurt anymore. A few days later went to a different hospital they said it was 5mm and stuck in my ureter. I Had to have it surgically removed. I did not have any burning during urinating with my kidney stone.

However i started experiencing pain below my ribs basically on my intestines, my Moms a Nephrologist Doctor and we quickly went to do a Ultrasound the radiologist noticed that i had a 5 mm Kidney stone which dropped to the Ureter and a 3mm kidney stone on my left kidney, i know that the pain on Kidney stones is severe i just used Anti Spasm medications, i can endure the pain and everything is fine. I dropped the stones yesterday and the left kidneys edema is fading.

i recently had a ultra sound scan which showed my kidney was normal however although it looks normal my bloodwork isn,t,so i am seeing a nephrologist on monday if i,m honest i,m praying that my only kidney is packing up because i really can,t take anymore,my husband of 25yrs left me because he couldn,t take anymore of my infections and frequent hospital stays, Many times i have had symptoms like yours and each time i have been told many many times it wasen,t my kidney, i,m afraid that is a load

Most likley hyperparathyroidism. Although I had it and my blood test were borderline. Now my calcium is now elevated more. Dr. thinks the bit of parathyroid that was left in is now overactive. Bummer!

I'm going through the same thing, agonising pain in my right kidney on and off all day and night. I went to A & E and had a pee test which came back fine. The nurse said it could be kidney stones or kidney infection, it just might not have shown up. I had this problem in 2004 and had all sorts of tests and they never found out what was up, after a few months the pain passed and I havent had a problem since up until I went for a routine scan with my pregnancy and now i am in sheer agony.

Oh! I should also add that you SHOULD NOT take anything over the counter to increase bowel movements until you speak with your OBGYN. This includes anything natural like milk of magnesium or anything similar.

It seems to move around, from the appendix area to the groin, and wraps around to the back and kidney area. As well, a mix of constipation and then diahrrea. I'm really quite terrified of it being appendicitis or worse yet, peritonitis. I have seen two health professionals, one at a clinic and the other in the emergency room, both of them saying its nothing, perhaps just a pulled or strained muscle. Like said, I'm scared, and I would like some sort of reassurance or advice.

I had a stone that blocked my kidney and even after blasting would not come out without being scooped out. This was in my left kidney. Kidneys were both checked out thoroughly for damage and other stones - neither of which was found. Questions are...Since it has been two months and I haven't passed any stones are they likely to just stay put? If the larger one gets stuck after I have my surgery will they be able to go in and get it out without cutting me or screwing up the TVT?

t had one since.) Stones that are very large and stuck in the kidney either need to be broken down or surgically removed. (These large stones are quite rare in comparison to the smaller ones so if you have kidney stones it's probably the small ones causing problems.) Thankfully I'm much less familiar with ovarian cysts. However, from what I gather, when they rupture is when the pain comes.
