kidney stones on both sides

A urinary tract infection would be pretty unusual in an otherwise healthy young male (unless there were stones present) but kidney stones are still a possibility. This should be able to be ruled out fairly simply.

Yes, you can have stones on both sides. I have had them in both kidneys. With me, one side hurt more than the other. I had 2.5 yrs worth of pain and finally about 8 weeks ago I passed a 4.0mm stone that was deep in the medullary and I have been pain free for first time in a very long time!!!!! I make calcium oxalate stones .. my 4.0mm was caught and sent to the lab.

calcium oxalate stones, struvite stones, uric acid stones or cystine stones. Potassium citrate is used for the treatment of stones. I would suggest you to get an evaluation done from a urologist to determine the type of stone. Treatment modes include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithrotripsy (ESWL), uteroscopic stone removal and percutaneoud nephrolithotomy. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

My uretors on every CT are very inflammed, which led Dr to do laproscopc exploration, he chose not continue procedure and get the stones out (my stones ae 4mmm, 8mm, and many smaler stones on both sides) much to my dismay. I get pain on both sides that is often worse in the morning, Pain lasts from hours to numerous days. Yet never a pain that feels like trying to go through uretors. Front doesnt hurt. Bladder doesnt hurt. (unless infected).

Hi all please read I had a kidney infection 3 weeks ago I was put on antibiotics for 6 days but I'm still experiencing pain in both sides of my kidneys sometimes moves from one side to the other then to the waist and back again round to my back and a little gurgling stomach felt slightly nauseous and sick pain is moderate . I have done 3 futher urine test no infection showing. . Could this be kidney stones? Something else please help oh and 4 month post partum..struggling with the kids..

I had some pain in September 2016 and a diagnosed kidney stone at that time. But the pain didn't really start until January this year. I had severe flank pain on both sides and abdominal pain especially after eating. Was admitted and treated for kidney infection. A few weeks later they found out my Gallbladder was overactive and removed it. Now I just have the flank pain on both sides. It is killing me.

Hi, I am a 24yr old male. I had an unprotected sexual encounter 2 years ago. We used bath/body soap for lube after the condom came off. Shortly after, my pe**s and testicles were hurting for a while, up until about 5 months after, but have subsided and they don't hurt anymore (testicles hurt sometimes, but RARELY). I had chlamydia and gonorrhea tests done which came back negative, and the doctor said my urine looks perfect.

I really need some input from some people & M.D.s. I`ve been having kidney pain on both sides radiating downward. Also alot of pressure on both sides. I have been taking "Lasix" everyday for a while now. Without it the pain becomes unbearable. Also without the Lasix my heartrate is pretty high. When I drink anything containing caffeine or eat anything containing salt the pressure in my kidney becomes worse. I hope this time somebody will give me their opinion. I am so desperate.

I can not eat anything solid with out vomiting right away and even the liquids sometimes can not stay down. I have severe pain on both sides of my lower abdomen and both sides flank pain. I am at my wits end. I am out of pain medication and nausea medication isn't working anymore. I want to be hospitalized. Get this pain under control. Get my appetite back.

But usually a kidney infection will hurt on both sides a little lower on your back.The only way to find out for sure what's going on is to see your Dr.

Found out yesterday I have kidney stones in both sides. Anyone have this? Saying might do my c-section today or put stent in and do at 38 weeks.

I'm 19 years old and I have been having intense pain in my kidney area on both sides for about 4 months, and I have been to 2 urologists. While they have diagnosed me with kidney stones and they said that I have a couple of small stones in each kidney, but they are not blocking anything so they are not the cause of my pain. I have also been to a physical therapist who said it is not musculoskeletal. I have also been having hematuria for at least 2 months.

and never went to the doctors for it..after my round of treatment was over, i started with lower back pain on both sides..i went to the doctors with this symptom as well as abdominal discomfort..a bloated full feeling and problems with urination... he sent me for bloodwork thinking it was a bladder/kidney infection..bloodwork came back negative for infection..but there was blood in my urine.. doctor sent me to er for ct scan thinking kidney stones..

so true in my case I've started getting em since around 23 and now 32 I get 3-4 a year and luckily {I guess never had to have surgery cause they are so small }the urologist says the only thing she can think of is that dehydration causes mine even though I drink a lot of water I cut down calcium no longer drink sodas or liquor{in years} I've done everything and still get them! ON BOTH SIDES!!!!

So I have been in and out of the hospital since Christmas with kidney stones on both sides, I am 31w+1d. First my option was to monitor it and hopefully they pass on their own, no luck so far an now my white blood count is high so they want to do surgery to put in to stents the drain the kidneys preventing inflammation an pain . The only thing is I will have to have them until the baby is born an then they will deal with the stones.

In my case i had 7 to 8 mm stones twice, once on the right side and then on the left side. I passed both stones with the help of just medication through my urethra. I am again feeling some sensation which travels from my kidney on the right side towards the rectum which causes some pressure in my rectum. I have my CT planned in the days to come. I have uric acid problem since years which hovers atound 7 to 8.

Could be kidney pain. The fact that it is on both sides though makes me wonder more about an infection than kidney stones as usually kidney stones are one sided (unless you are very unlucky). Though if the pain subsided quickly in a day or so this sounds more stones than infection.

My pain is acute stabbing pain that is on my right side where my ribs meet my spine. Sometimes it will be on the left side, but never both sides at once. When my pain starts it progressively gets worse. Almost like the feeling of contractions. It hurts so bad that I can not get comfortable no matter the position I am in. Then I get nauseous and sometimes I vomit. Nothing relives the pain except medicine at the ER.

because it would be in my lower back and on both sides and it would hurt so badly that i would be crying. I talked to my dotor and he said it could be BHs. but I talked to my dad and he told me it sounds like kidney stones... because the other day i had a little bright red blood in my urine and my dad said that is from kidney stones moving. When I get these pains I honestly feel like im going to pass out from the pain.. Is there anything to do for these?

About 8 months ago I had a kidney stone. Since it didn't pass on its own, surgery was required. Upon further review, I was told I had another stone in my right kidney. Well, since the surgery I've had dull aching pain that was originally only in my right kidney, but now I quite frequently have the pain in both the right and left, but not at the same time. I first thought it was because I drank a can of soda once in a while, because I noticed right after I drank it there was always pain.

Its important to remember that kidney stones are not uncommon and are easily treatable if followed up on. The other conditions are clinically rare.

How many here have dealt with kidney stones during pregnancy? I am 18 wks 5 days and have a stone that needs to pass. Hurts excessively. I had a stone with my last pregnancy at 34 wks. That time required surgery to remove. If this is not gone by Monday I may be headed that way again.

I can not eat anything solid with out vomiting right away and even the liquids sometimes can not stay down. I have severe pain on both sides of my lower abdomen and both sides flank pain. I am at my wits end. I am out of pain medication and nausea medication isn't working anymore. I want to be hospitalized. Get this pain under control. Get my appetite back.

Could be your kidney, I have kidney stones and it started with upper right side pain right below the breast. Might want to watch and see if it gets better or worse and bring it up with your ob. My last pregnancy the baby was pinching my ureter and making it so that my kidney couldn't drain that's what was causing me pain last time. This time my kidney is blocked due to stones it's very painful.

I have a history of kidney stones for the past 3 years , I see a urologist and a nefrologist for them they both say stones are in no way causing my pain.
