Avatar n tn s and CT Scans and blood tests and urine tests. I even went to the Mayo Clinic, but no one can figure out what it wrong with me. While Mayo, I saw a lot of different doctors and had a ton of blood tests but nothing shows up. I was not having any symptoms while at Mayo. I live in a rural area so the doctors here are not the greatest. Any ideas or suggestions.
Avatar f tn I have 2 pains in the front directly under my rib cage about 2-3 inches down from my sternum. CT scan revealed 9 kidney stones all. 7 are 2mm and 2 are 1mm. I'm 5. Ft tall 109 lbs. the only experience I ever had with kidney stones was when I was pregnant. Passed a lot of blood then nothing, little cramping in low back and it was over. This pain has sent me to the ER twice. I was vomiting a lot back in June and lost 16 lbs so they took my gall bladder out.
Avatar f tn All pretty minor annoyances in retrospect to many conditions..ovarian cysts, gallstones,,kidney stones, kidney infections, gastrointestinal issues, About 2 years ago, I began having crazy bad pain in my right side. I was hospitalized because my right kidney was swollen and a couple of stones. They found that there was a section of my ureter tube that was fused together, or dead or something, causing a kink in the ureter..had an exploratory to find the cause of the kink.
Avatar f tn I have been suffering with headache 24 hours a day, fatigue, multiple kidney stones, hypertension, that all started 2 years ago. The kidney stones I have had 7 total, 3 in the last 1.5 years. I have PTH of 146, Vitamin D of 25 and Calcium of 9.2. 3 endo's in my area say that it is in no way, shape, or form hyperparathyroidism but went to Mayo and the doctor says maybe but wants more proof. They also tell me that my symptoms can not be caused by it because my calcium is normal.

Avatar f tn I was recently inputted in the hospital for kidney stones. Has anyone else experienced this before? The only was I can recall getting them after reading on themare from my prentals after reading my discharge papers.
Avatar f tn You can go online and register or call to set up appointments at Cleveland Clinic and the MAYO Clinic. MAYO has three clinics in the U.S. You do not need a referral to get in to either of these clinics. I have also heard of people the drive there and tell them their symptoms and sometimes they get in right away. So, you might want to consider checking them out online and trying to set up an appointment. I hope this will help you, as I know how frustrating this can be and disabilitating.
627388 tn?1222198212 Has anyone from the MS forum ever seek treatment for their MS at the Mayo Clinic? If so, how was your as your experience with physicians from the clinic? I am considering driving up to Mayo at some point if my neurologist in town can't definatively diagnosis me.

582396 tn?1259863489 I am over the moon excited that DH got a 5-10 day appointment at Mayo Clinic - Dec. 10. Anyone have any experiences on what to expect etc?
Avatar m tn Some here on the board are not real pleased with the Mayo clinic. It seems they have their own set of standards to give out a dx of MS. I personally know nothing about them and wish you the best....hoping for that answer.

Avatar m tn May I ask, have you found websites that have particularly good information on MSK and stone production in general? I have visited the Mayo Clinic site because I always trust their information but would love any reference sites you may have. Thank you very much!
Avatar n tn Since that time she has been treated for endometriosis, kidney stones and now this false tumor. While hospitialized, a lumbar puncture was done and medication given to her. However the lumbar puncture caused her vein to collapse so they took it out. Next, they did a procedure where they snaked a a type of flexible wire through her artery in up her arm to send medication directly through the artery, past the heart.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm 16 years old and suffering from what I've been told is medullar sponge kidney disease. I have been to countless doctors, including the mayo clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, Children's hospital in St. Louis, and many local hospitals. Every doctor that I've seen has thrown around many ideas of what my disease "could" be, but none of them have ever actually diagnosed me.
Avatar m tn About three weeks ago I started to have some painful urination. I quickly noticed i was passing small seed like things in my urine. This happen once before last december and I went to tge ER. They didnt find any blood in my urine and discharged me without doing anything else. Those went away after a few days. This times they didnt going away so i went to my uni doc. She did a check for for sti's(which wasnt a concern).
5889951 tn?1380316047 It coukd be a UTI or kidney infection because you are earlier on. Also could be from dehydration. Here is other causes: There are many other possible causes of protein in urine. Emotional stress, being exposed to cold or heat, fever, and strenuous exercise are some of the temporary conditions that can cause this problem, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Avatar f tn Hi Kinda sounds like kidney stones you get better care from your regular doctor than an emergency room I would see your regular doctor and discuss your problems. Also you could try the kidney stone community they should know more than us http://www.medhelp.
378725 tn?1200684802 Primary hyperparathyroidism removes the calcium from your teeth and bones and deposits the calcium in your kidneys (kidney stones), bladder, blood vessels, muscles, and body organs. The doctors at Mayo Clinic tested my hydroxyapatite crystals, which are clinically elevated, but did not do anything with the results. My mother and grandmother had these same problems, which doctors can only prescribe pain medicine.
486038 tn?1300063367 I've not been to the Jacksonville Mayo or the MS clinic in Houston, I'm sorry about that. I have heard a lot of good things about the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and Dr. Elliot Frohman who works there. I'm sure if you google his name you can find out much more than I can tell you about, here.
Avatar m tn Truthfully, I've heard one of the best MS Clinics in the US is the Mellen Center at Cleveland Clinic. You might try checking out http://www.mscare.org They list all the clinics available, etc. My neuro said the clinic at Cincinatti isn't that great but thinks Cleveland Clinic is really good. I've never heard of the Mayo Clinic being highly rated for MS, but more for heart desease.
