Avatar m tn Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped. The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.

About 3-4 weeks ago, I started having symptoms resembling a stomach bug (diarrhea) and fatigue for a couple of days, then started having flank pain. Went to urgen care and they gave me 3 days worth of cipro. She said I had a "few" white blood cells in my urine, but that was all. She also ordered a CT scan.

Lithotripsy is a good option for stones 1 cm or less in the kidney and upper ureter. Consult a nephrologist for more queries and assistance. Hope it helped. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn I had severe pain and kidney stones with my pregnancies. I passed a stone already with this baby but fought the pain when I get a next attack I will go in for pain killers. Also you can not take ibuprofen while pregnant.
Avatar n tn May be wise to have your labs checked Creatinine and BUN and GFR for kidney function.
Avatar f tn For kidney pain you may take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen or naproxen .Few doctors also recommend Tamsulosin to speed the passage of stones.

Avatar n tn I have had a KUB that has detected approximately 8 stones in my left kidney and 14 stones in my right. I even had lithotripsy on a 7 mm stone on the left. I continue to have the pain on the right. My doctor says that I should not be having this pain because none of the stones are big enough (all 3-5 mm) to block anything. However, still the pain. He has prescribed Vicodin, which helps a little, but I am beginning to feel a little like a druggie.
Avatar f tn I'm a bit confused as well...but I'll say from experience, as someone who has had multiple kidney stones over the past 10 years - ibuprofen and toradol really DO work better than narcotics. I'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.
Avatar n tn my husband has just had kidney stones removed - is it normal to have extreme pain when passing urine?
Avatar n tn The CT scan showed an inflamed kidney. The doctor now believes a kidney infection and has prescribed cipro and Tylenol and Ibuprofen for pain. After 5 days, the pain (while not constant) has not diminished. He often has the chills and a fever that runs 2-3 degrees above normal. One other (possibly not related) issue is that his pain is usually most significant early morning (possibly due to 8 hours of sleep with no tylenol/ibuprofen).
Avatar f tn Back when my pain was consistently on my left over the course of a year and a half I had three CT scans done. It was determined that I had kidney stones in my left kidney and that my pain was being caused when I was passing them, outside of that no abnormalities were found in my scans. I have seen two urologists since the discovery of these stones and was dismissed by both. They claimed my symptoms are not consistent with kidney stone pain.
Avatar m tn IM 25 I HAVE HAD KIDNEY STONES BEFORE , I HAVE NOT HAD THEM FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS ,I JUST PAST ONE TWO WEEKS AGO . BUT NOW MY TESTICLES ARE LIFTING .
Avatar f tn I often get kidney stones, about every two to two and a half years. My last episode was two years ago. I was given a prescript for antibiotic and Lortab. The stone passed and I hadn't used all of my meds so I saved them in case I began to pass another one. It has been two years and i have, once again been trying to pass a kidney stone. Sunday, the pain got really excruciating, so I took ten ibuprofin...to no avail.
Avatar f tn 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 .
Avatar m tn 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). Has anyone got any idea how long I will be waiting for this ticking time bomb of a stone to start its painful journey and does anyone know of any early warning signs that may exist to indicate that a stone may be ready to come out?
Avatar n tn In cases of hernia, a prominent bulge along with testicular pain is there and in cases of kidney or ureteric stones, pain during micturition may also be there. He can provide support to the scrotum by wearing an athletic supporter, apply ice to the scrotum, take warm baths if there are signs of inflammation, while lying down, place a rolled towel under his scrotum or try over-the-counter pain relievers, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Avatar f tn Thank you for your reply. I tend to agree with you on the kidney stones and will find a physician after the holidays.......Cranberry juice and cinnamon capsules have eased it off some.
Avatar f tn I have MSK I was diagnosed about 6 years ago and only after 5-6surgeries and move then 100 kidney stones. I feel for anybody who has this as there are time I honestly consider suicide over the pain and being tired of passin stones and being told that there is not much they can do avoid calcium and protein.. good luck with that one. Since almost everything has both in it. Again my heart goes out to all you guys suffering from this.
Avatar m tn I had a kidney stone about a year ago, which due to things I don't understand managed to not pass and sit undetected for 3 months before moving again. I had to have it surgically removed. Each time it occurred, I noticed peach-colored or brown urine at least 3 days before. After the procedure, I've felt fine and I've changed my diet to hopefully avoid kidney stones. Ever since late July though, I've been experiencing this dull pinching back pain.
Avatar n tn In cases of hernia, a prominent bulge along with testicular pain is there and in cases of kidney or ureteric stones, pain during micturition may also be there. Lab investigations like complete blood examination, urine examination, ultrasound lower abdomen and sometimes a urethral swab will help in diagnosis. Treatment will be started thereafter.My advise would be to consult a urologist. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar f tn Blood in urine and frequent urination can be due to kidney stones, inflammation of urinary tract and kidneys, diabetes, renal vein thrombosis, certain kidney tumors and polycystic kidney disease. To confirm the diagnosis, diagnostic tests that may be performed include Urinalysis, Urine culture, X-rays of the kidneys, Cystoscopy, IVP, blood sugar levels, Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen. I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
Avatar m tn However, when I went in for my follow up apointment the urologist ordered a xray which came back clean, no stones, no fragments and no blockage. But I am still feeling a great deal of pain and blood in my urine. He said he couldnt see anything urologicly wrong with me so I had to return to my family doctor. I saw him December 30th 2010 and he ordered a urine test done, which came back postive for blood. So he said I have to go back to see the urologist. Inwhich he in now ordering a ct scan.

Avatar n tn I had a stone that blocked my kidney and even after blasting would not come out without being scooped out. This was in my left kidney. Kidneys were both checked out thoroughly for damage and other stones - neither of which was found. Questions are...Since it has been two months and I haven't passed any stones are they likely to just stay put? If the larger one gets stuck after I have my surgery will they be able to go in and get it out without cutting me or screwing up the TVT?
Avatar f tn I had a uti turned kidney infection when I found out I was pregnant and the doctors asked if I could be pregnant I said yes, they didn't even take it into consideration, but I went on antibiotics and ibuprofen and it not only helped the pain tremendously but the infection went away. Good luck girly! I feel your pain!!
Avatar m tn Hello, From your symptoms your doctor is suspecting a kidney infection and inflammation and hence the possibility of kidney or ureteric stones is important to be ruled out. Leon OZ tablets is an antibiotic which is often prescribed for infections and hence please take these tablets as prescribed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn I had these symptoms when I had kidney stones. Other kidney stone symptoms may include nausea, diarrea, vomiting, blood in the urine and severe pain in your lower back (I mean . DO NOT let your symptoms continue for more than a week. See a physician. My kidney stones were serious (this 2nd time). See my post titled Symptoms Following Ureteroscopy with Laser.
