kidney-stones

Avatar m tn Is it common for a patient to have back spasms when they have a kidney stone? The doctor said he felt and saw the back spasms. Could it have been kidney spasms if there is such a thing?
514293 tn?1281462119 Went in for a CT Scan and they found a stone in my right kidney also a cyst on left kidney lower pole. Should I be concerned. I always have the urge to go but was given antibiotics for an infection. The urge is a little better but I still have this weird sensation near bladder.
Avatar f tn We were shuttled around several doctors and treated for different disorders such as kidney stones, hernias, bladder and kidney bacterial infections and peptic ulcers to no avail. Some thought we were crazy. Ultimately, a worm ova (for Schistosoma) was found in both our urine sediments and we were treated with praziquantel. There are other medications specific for different parasites.
Avatar f tn Kidney stone pain is often associated with low back pain and abdominal pain. Kidney stones, especially those in the left kidney, can also cause significant amounts of nausea and even vomiting. As the stone moves further down the ureter toward the bladder, the pain often radiates in the groin and genital areas. In men, the pain may radiate to the scrotum. In women, the pain may radiate to the labia or even the vagina.
Avatar n tn I am 49 year old woman and the last few days I have been experiencing sharp back spasm (like a jolt) on my right side middle back under rib cage. I have been feeling sore around rib cage and it seems worse in certain positions (laying on left side and stretching). About 17 years when I was pregnant, I had kidney stones on both sides and it doesn't feel the same. Do you think this is gall bladder related? Any ideas....
Avatar n tn Hi, You might be suffering from bladder stones or stones in the urinary tract if you suffer from spasmodic pains after consuming alcohol. I’ll suggest getting an ultrasound of the urinary tract done and I hope that’ll help in making clear if the spasmodic pains are due to the stones. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar f tn I have a 15 yr. history with kidney stones. I had my most recent attack 3 weeks ago and it was one of the longest enduring of any I've had, with the most severe flank and ureter pain lasting almost 12 hrs. The last couple hours of the horrible pain, I experienced what I would almost call spasms very low down, and I've never had that before in any of the other attacks. I had waves of pain and the urge to urinate every few minutes.

Crystals are just small bladder stones, and with careful monitoring the crystals will be found before they are large enough to cause an obstruction or urolith. Dalmatian urinary pH should be maintained at: 6.5 - 7.0.
Avatar f tn no stones, no cysts or swelling. My bladder was also emptying fine. I was them sent off for blood tests. The results were: liver function ok, not anaemic, calcium ok, red blood count ok, no inflammation, white blood cells ok. Kidney function in the normal range but at the bottom end of the range. Doctor said it was low for my age (25). She said to leave it 2 weeks to test kidney function again and see if it changes. They were looking for a rise in creatinine. Just had blood test.

6855498 tn?1396023284 I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemy. 38 weeks pregnant and kidney stones i can't even tell if its the stones or contractions on top of it.
Avatar n tn I passed four and since around 24 weeks have one blocking urine flow from my kidneys to my bladder causing swelling and extreme pain. I have been on and off of pain killer s since the pain cause s pre mature labor and that is more risky. The only advice I have is a heating pad, drink tons of water and orange juice and lemonade also lemon in your water. I know how you feel! And if it gets bad enough they can give you stronger than tylonel. Vicaden and percacet are perfectly fine.
Avatar f tn I was having bad flank pain on the right side and went to my primary dr who said she thought it was muscle spasms and nothing kidney related. However she did a dip urine test in office and it showed a trace of blood. She then said she would forward to the lab further further eval. Well I still have the pain its worse when I sit or lay for a period of time. I received the report in a patient portal thing before the dr office called.
Avatar f tn t been feeling right. I get muscle spasms in my left rib. and a pain in my belly button, especially if I have to pee. and I have no appetite. I am hungry, I get so hungry I feel sick. however I can't get myself to eat anything with the slightest flavor to it, it makes me want to hurl. I am only able to eat crackers,bread,or rice. does anyone have any ideas or advice? All answers are much appreciated. thank you.
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry you're having this discomfort and pain. Unfortunately, I can give you zero advice about your specific proble. Although I've had more than several UTI, and countless kidney-stones, the only bladder issues I've had have been spasms caused by kidney-stone passage (which were easily rectified, incidentally, by taking an Rx anti-spasmodic). What I CAN advise, is that you seek professional assistance, guidance and diagnosis.
Avatar n tn and the pain seemed to go up and down from 5 to 9 repeating itself. my brother had kindey stones and he thinks it might be this but as teh pain went away could it just be cramps or something?
Avatar f tn Two days ago, I experienced extreme and painful (what I think) bladder spasms. These spasms or contractions occured every 40 seconds and lasted for about 10 seconds. The spasms were extremely painful, shooting to the left side of my left breast and into my cervix. It was excruciating. Massaging the area only made it worse, it was only after an hour of placing hot packs and taking a painkiller (Nurofen 200 mg) that the spasms subsided, although I can still feel slight spasms.
Avatar f tn As the other poster said, kidney spasms may be indicative of a kidney stone. It would be a good idea to get a CT scan of your kidneys if the ultrasound does not show anything. The CT will also be able to allow the doctor to make an appropriate diagnosis. For example, if you have MSK, that would be diagnosed from a CT scan result. Additionally, a urinalysis is always a good first step towards checking for infections and other various problems.
Avatar f tn This is always a possibility when ureteroscopy is done to eliminate stones. The tip of the stent rubs against the bladder, and can cause bladder pain or a feeling of always needing to urinate. The stent does widen the ureter to make a return look much easier to get the stones out.
Avatar n tn Smaller stones may partially block the thin tubes that connect each kidney to your bladder or the outlet from the bladder itself. These stones may cause ongoing urinary tract infections or kidney damage if left untreated. Treatment options: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). This is a commonly used procedure for treating kidney stones. It uses shock waves to break the stones into tiny pieces that are then passed in your urine.
Avatar f tn Well I had really bad pain on my left side to the point I was crying so I went to the hospital and there keeping me over night to pass my kidney stones. Anyone else gone through this?

Avatar n tn This one involves pus in the kidney and surrounding sack. His right kidney, where all of the stones have been, is down to less than 25% output and may have to be removed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this and what the outcome might be?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn It's possible you have a uti, bladder infection, or kidney stones. You really need to see a doctor to make sure your kidney's are doing ok asap. If you get a high fever go to the ER.
