Avatar f tn This past friday at 1:20am I was rushed to the ER from sudden back pain that was unbearable I was so scared for my baby.. Came to the conclusion it's kidney stones and I became more terrified because there's not many pain killers they could give me other than tylenol and morphine, so about the last one I asked if it was ok for my baby, first they said not sure!!
477746 tn?1254784547 I have had 14 kidney stones and 3 surgeries for them. I was given Demerol and Toridol!!!
Avatar f tn People that I have spoken to have all said it sounds like kidney stones. But after xrays,ct scans it has shown no stones but a cyst that is growing. Could this be the cause of my pain as my consultant says that the cyst cannot be the cause of pain. I have been on morphine now for 4yrs. Can anyone help pls.
Avatar f tn today i woke up with sever pain in the lower side near my back on both sides, my urine is bright red, and while straining for stones( none yet) i found blood clots ( apox 5mm x 3mm) the morphine is not controlling the pain anymore, and im not due to go in for stent removal and lithro again until the 21st, is what im experiencing the passing of a stone or should i go be seen again by the ER ( my uroligist is 2 hrs away and my GP is not im until wed, so that is my only option.
Avatar f tn I am a 26 year old female and I have been dealing with kidney stones for the past 9 years. I pass atleast 2 stones every month. Recently, I had SEVERE pain in my left flank and went to the ER. Had a CT scan done and it showed I had several stones in both kidneys. I was given morphine at the hospital and vicodin to take home.
Avatar m tn Hello, Method of treatment of kidney stones depends on the size of stone. A 4 mm stone has an 80% chance of passage spontaneously in the urinary tract while a 5 mm stone has a 20% chance. a stone of 7.7 mm needs other methods of kidney stone treatment. I’ll suggest consulting a urologist for the same and seeking treatment depending on the size of the stone.
Avatar f tn It turns out I have 5 kidney stones. I am new to this. One is 3mm is long and was blocking 2/3 the way down. I was bloated, felt like I would vomit, and had extrem pain. after morphine. they sent me home. I was better and thought I had passed the stone until recently everything is returning in the same order as yesterday. I am scared and dont want to return to the ER they said 3mm was not that big but almost admitted me. I am a bit confussed and really not feeling well.
Avatar f tn So, this is my 4th pregnancy but my first time dealing with kidney stones presumably caused by the pregnancy. Has anyone else had this unfortunate experience and how did you get through? I'm on my second round of stones. I just had surgery to remove a 6 mm stone 3 weeks ago and now I have one in the opposite side. I'm only 14 weeks so I have a ways to go yet.
Avatar f tn 3 weeks ago my 26 year old son (diabetic) was having pain at his side and back (at kidney area). He went to the Dr. and they said he had kidney stones. After two weeks he did not pass the stones. He went to the emergency room this past Sunday with horrible pain and difficulty urinating. They finally have calmed him down with around the clock morphine. They have run 2 CT scans and a renal nuclear scan. Both shown no evidence of a blockage.
Avatar m tn With your history of kidney stones, the risk of recurrent kidney stones is present. Dietary and medical management are often advised to help prevent recurrence. It is best that you check with your attending physician for proper management. Drinking plenty of fluids is highly recommended. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Is it normal to have kidney stones hurt in the kidney before they move to the ureter? Is it normal to have extreme pain in the ureter and in the bladder from a stent? I have been to three urologists in the last 5 weeks and nobody will give me answers.
Avatar f tn Almost this whole pregnancy I've has kidney stones and they put Me through so much pain but there's nothing doctors can do since I'm pregnant I'm currently 33 weeks and it's starting to hurt everyday I went to my doctor the other day with so much blood in my urine and now I go to a kidney ultrasound the 30th but lately I've been having to take a pain pill everyday cause it always starts to hurt.. And Tylenol doesn't help at all..
Avatar f tn ve been pumped full of dilaudid...been on a morphine pump....and for kidney stones, I still found more relief from a good strong NSAID and a heat pack. But that's not to say he shouldn't take them if he feels he needs them, just - from my experience - I would rather have 800mg ibuprofen, a heatpack, and the liberty to curse without my kids hearing until the stone is passed than a whole bottle of any strength narcotic.
1926947 tn?1322986601 Last year I also started having problems with multiple kidney stones. After my first emergency surgery for stones in my left kidney everything went down-hill. I have urethral stenosis, stricture disease and large amounts of scar tissue in my left ureter. The doctor placed a stent that my body rejected and they had to removed it within 4 days. My stones are made up of uric acid however uric acid levels in my blood are normal but in my urine they are sky high.
Avatar m tn I have recently joined the Kidney stone club with 3 Kidney stones now since November last year, two passed on their own and one required surgery with a temporary stent. The Kidney stones have been 3-6mm in size. A few days ago I had an ultrasound done to investigate a hernia (nothing special there) and they found a new kidney stone measuring 3mm in the right kidney (all my previous kidney stones have been left).
Avatar f tn Hi there, I've recently had a cystoscopy with laser destruction of some kidney stones to my left kidney. I wasn't warned about the severe pain that came to me after the operation. They gave me morphine to numb the pain whilst in hospital but nothing to come home with so it was very sore indeed in my left side and back also the pain when I urinated was quite severe aswell. The bleeding took 4 days to stop.
Avatar m tn s care but my dog is having bladder stones and he is very much unconfortable all night I have to take him downstairs to pee and all the vet has told me is to wait for the results of urine test to beggin treatment meanwhile he gave him Rimadyl for the Hip pain and also some Phenobarbitol for anxiety, but he still cries all the time, I am desperate !
Avatar n tn Kidney stones are painful and I have been hospitalized too many times to count just to get antibiotics and iv dilodid for a week each time and still got sent home on strong pain killers. The only thing worse than kidney stones is kidney stones while pregnant. It is a different kind of pain then delivery. Labor is a pain that has a reward for going through it. Passing kidney stones is a pain with no reward other than the end of the pain.
Avatar f tn I ahve had stones with terrible pain and stones with little or no pain.......that kind of pain was only maneable for me with morphine....so I don't envy you. I was only clearly diagnosed the first time because I pass them at the hospital and they were large enough to see....but I have also had them many times where I must have passed them without even noticing.
452063 tn?1324074916 I have seen at least a dozen posts with kidney stones. There has to be some correlation between opiate use and kidney stones. My surgeon showed me mine on the CT scan and it's a white circle as big as a golfball. He feels it might be from chemicals but said that it's probably from my chemo. I keep thinking that he is gonna pull out a big white opiate that either says Endo or Watson on it lol. Just wondering if anyone else was told theirs was from chemicals?
Avatar n tn t do a CT scan so he ordered one and I find out I had two kidney stones a 3x2mm in my left kidney and a 5x3mm in my right kidneys. Non obstructive and still in the kidneys in the lower pole. I was told I was at risk for them getting bigger. I got prescribed hydro's and sent home. 8 days later I was in even worse pain to the point I was in tears and so nauseous I couldn't eat. The pain was now in both flanks.
Avatar f tn I never had gall stones but with my first pregnancy i had kidney stones and had to have kidney surgery when i was 25weeks pregnant. That was horribly painful.
Avatar f tn ( I have no idea what the deal is until I can get an appointment
Avatar f tn Any moms have experience with kidney stones while pregnant. Were you induced early or allowed to go as normal??
Avatar f tn t find a reason for the pain. I eventually had a C.T scan which showed that I had several kidney stones in both kidneys and one in my tube. I had a stent fitted to help the stone move, but that gave me a lot of pain too. Anyway, to cut a long story short I have been in severe pain for two and half years now, so bad that I can't work (I used to run a pub). I've had several procedures in that time (stents, lithotripsy, extractions) but I just keep making stones and passing them.
Avatar m tn To answer your question, I'm not entirely sure if there's an actual allergy test for Morphine. My previous Urologist and I discovered my semi-allergy when I was in the ER with a kidney-stone, when my condition first reared its ugly head back in 1991. At first I didn't say anything about the adverse symptoms, as I thought it was a normal side-effect of the drug (I wasn't at all familiar with narcotics back then, as they hadn't dug their claws into me yet).
775870 tn?1235520424 could be a few things,left side usualy shows stuff like gasteritis,or bowel obstruction,or could be pain do to oncomming kidney stones...if you start getting back pain,or tingly feeling in urethra,or urge to pee alot,thats almost certain kidney stones. i had them,and i hoke up with left belly pain,then spread to right kidney area,then i was at hospital getting morphine drip!!!
