I kinda got over it but 2 months later I had kidney attacks and had surgery 2 months ago for kidney stones. I have more surgery for that later this month as well. Within a day or 2 after surgery I got what feels like double ear infections, had headaches and the dizziness came back. Also continued dehydration and eye trouble. My vision seems perfectly clear but I get like an irritation that causes me to instinctively move my eyes up and down and side to side.
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.
I am a 34-year-old female with a 15 year history of calcium oxalate kidney stones. I have passed at least 15, and according to a recent CT scan, I have at least 7 more (several in each kidney). For several years I have been fatigued and have had sleep issues, which I attributed to having children who didn't sleep through the night. I realized that sleep was an issue when they began sleeping through and I could not make it more than 4-5 hours.
I am new to kidney stones. I passed my first kidney stone about 2 months ago and I know I have two more. A 2mm on one side and a 4 on the other side. The first one I had happened at night, so I woke up in pain. I am just wondering is there symptoms you can feel when you are awake. Just 4 days ago, I had 4 very sharp pains in the right side my back over a 2 hour period. Today I am hit with a wave of nausea.
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).
I was diagnosed with bilateral kidney stones during an ultrasound. Stones are of a calcium variety.
Subsequent tests reveal
PTH - 138
Serum Ca - 9.3
Urine Calcium 24 hr - 124.8
Vital D 25 (OH) - 10
Please advice if this is primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism or if I need further lab tests to complete the diagnosis.
Maybe muscle pain, maybe ovarian cyst, other GYN problems, could be stomach/intestinal, could be appendicitis. kidney stones. It's a toss up. At home check: have someone push slowly and deeply over pain area, hold it down, then suddenly release. If the release causes very sharp sudden pain and makes you wince, you probably have some inflammation. Call your MD NOW for advice, or get to the ER. If you are running a fever of 100 or more, call the MD NOW.
I have a male friend who's been dealin w/ kidney stones for about a year quite now. He's on medi-cal in CA & he's not gettin anywhere w/ doctor's. He's been waitin for 1 mo. now for a referral to see a specialist & in the mean time his symptoms seems to be gettin more serious.
My husband started having problems with kidney stones about 3 wks ago. He has had them before, so we knew what to expect. About a wk ago, he was still hurting and peeing blood, even though ct scan showed all stones were gone. They ran a scope up his urethra, and he had a stone stuck. Dr said just drink water, and it will dislodge. We are not sure if the stone has dislodged or not, but now he is peeing blood, pus is leaking from his urethra, his testicals hurt, and his kidneys hurt.
Hi,
Renal calculi can vary in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as a golf ball. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms.
If stones grow to sufficient size before passage—on the order of at least 2-3 millimeters—they can cause obstruction of the ureter.
I have suffered with c/o kidney stones off and on for as long as I can remember. For about the last three years I have week long spells of extreme fatigue, lethargy, pain up and down my whole right side of my body, dizziness (feel like I am going to pass out), nausea, horrible lower back and sciatic pain, weakness, and painful gas and bloating. I can go from feeling really good to bed ridden within 24 hrs. Until recently I thought the spells may have something to do with the stones.
Other possibilities are irritable bowel syndrome, hepatitis(inflammation of the liver), kidney stones, pneumonia, musculoskeletal pain, lower rib fracture and malignancy. Irritation of the nerves supplying this area can also cause pain. Irritation can be due to nerve compression or pinching due to any spine related pathology.
In females,ovarian pathology can cause such symptoms. You should get an ultrasound right upper abdominal area done to confirm the diagnosis.
The treatment for kidney stones depends on their size and what they are made of and also if they are causing pain or obstructing the urinary tract. Small stones usually pass through the urinary tract without treatment. It is good advice to stay well hydrated as that should prevent the stones from getting any bigger or new ones from forming.
For kidney pain you may take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen or naproxen .
Would retest TSH along with Free T4 as the Total T4 is oddly normal w/ TSH of 160. The PTH is normal, but this should always be measured along w/ Calcium (esp with history of stones). Hypothyroidism may decrease GFR but is not likely to cause kidney stones.
It's been three weeks since my diagnosis of having multiple kidney stones on the right side. The Radiologist who gave me my stat results said I would pass them and didnt think straining my urine was something I needed to do. I finally got in to see my urologist he was upset I wasn't straining and wanted me to have surgery since I will be undergoing IVF treatments in March. I agreed because I don't want to deal with flare up while pregnant.
My doctor just says to drink more water...like it's not a big deal. But I don't think she knows what it feels like to have them. I started getting what I thought was uti's after I got in my 40's. I had my first kidney infection at 45. They put me on a preventative antiobiotic regimen for 3 mos. after they cleared that up. I have had blood in my urine 2+ ever since. Went to 2 urologists for all kinds of testing. They never said anything about stones.
