Common Questions and Answers about Kidney stones and massage
kidney-stones
This got answered on another forum. No, this is NOT from hand job during a massage. There would be no way that would result in this. You couldn't see the blood but it showed up in a urine sample. That's called microscopic hematuria. UTI's, bladder infection and kidney stones can all cause this. Also an enlarged prostate or even strenuous exercise. What did your doctor say about it.
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?
I found a suppository medication w the belladonna flower works best for my kidney pain and stones and spasms your urologist can prescribe this ornother meds, but i would be weary of narcotics other than that, as most contain Tylenol and Tylenol damages kidneys ultimately m. Change your diet around no black tea black coffee soda or too much bread.. these contain oxylates which is what forms stones in your body I switched to green tea m( more caffeine than coffee and hydrated you and is safe!
And also perform. I can sympathise totally and suggest oil massage without necessarily having a lignum massage but this could help as blood flow can help to cure many underlying issues. If this is too sensitive then try acupuncture . It worked for me as did the massages. Am totally pain free after at least 2 years of pain. . Worth a try I 'd say. Try a natural oil like coconut as this is better for your skin.. But you can use water based gels too...
Has she had a CT Scan w/o contrast in regard to the stones? What has it shown? I have an uncommon kidney condition called MSK (Medullary Sponge Kidney) along with having had out 1/2 my thryoid bcz of nodules that were atpical but my parathyroids were fine and all tests were A-OK that both my Uro and Endo have run inc. a 24hr urine test.
Has your daughter had a 24hr urine test? That is important too.
Is it a pain that leaves you tossing side to side sharp pains? And any blood? I ended up being told I was passing kidney stones.
I wonder if anybody else has experienced diarrhea with kidney stones? I have had upwards of 40 kidney stones in the past four years but somehow still have no answers as to why my body is producing these or how to relieve them. And i never fail to turn up new symptoms or troubles. I have been having dark urine and a lot of kidney pain lately and I'm sure I have another stone working its way out of my kidney...
They suspect kidney stones. No stones found. The doctor at hospital emerg says the kidney looks somewhat inflamed in CT as if it may have recently been infected or is newly infected, suggests I tell my doctor that CT reveals the diverticulae in my left abdomen (which she finds curious and worth noting though the pain is in my right side).
The ache is such that it is uncomfortable to lay on my stomach, wear a belt or lean over. I went to my doctor who suggested I had diverticulitis.
How unusual is it for the stones to be in this meaty part of my kidney and since they are still in my kidney aren’t they just going to continue to grow larger? Are these stones causing damage to my kidneys? They don’t seem to be causing any blockages based on the ultrasounds that have been done, but I still have had frequent flank pain and blood visible in my urine prior to the surgery. Is there any hope that I will be able to be stone free and prevent more stones?
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.
Has anyone here with kidney stones tried vitamin B6 and magnesium to prevent new stones from forming?
I read a study that concluded that taking 50 mg of B6 daily with 300 mg of magnesium oxide (one of the least absorbable forms of magnesium) will prevent future kidney stones. I also read that potassium and B6 does the same. Perhaps the magnesium works because potassium is better absorbed if there is sufficient magnesium.
Usually they will test the liver and do some basic kidney tests like ones for urinary tract infections and protein in the urine in the standard urinalysis (I assume you got your urine tested when you went for blood tests as they always do that here). To get a GFR you have to ask usually as it isn't considered a standard test. At least not here in Canada. A GFR specifically measures kidney function.
kidney stones can be very recurring and can start very young, although ive never heard of someone getting them in their early teens.. usually early 20s, but that doesnt mean it doesnt happen earlier. it sounds like you will have to sit in some pain until you get insurance again. you can try to seek out clinics, but theyre not very good at helping. get your insurance back and go to a dr, because if you have them so often, you might have something else going on.
Thx for your response I have passed one of the stones in the hospital a few days ago still have another in my right ureter and a 7mm in my right kidney and several small stones 35 wks pg now and they are going to induce me in two weeks due to the kidney stones causing contractions and wanting me to have lithotripsy after her birth. I was told I wouldn't be able to pass the 7mm stone without intervention what are my chances with that they said its in the middle of the kidney.
The other problem in that area that it could be is related to the kidney, so it could be a kidney infection or kidney stones. He would have other symptoms with an infection like an urgent need to urinate or frequent urges to urinate. He could also have a fever, cloudy, dark or very strong smelling urine.
With kidney stones there is not always pain if they do not move and a stone can be as small as a grain of sand and can sometimes be felt like colic.
I'm just leaving a followup to this. I went to a massage therapist and she could tell that it was my attachment point for my latissimus dorsi and the lowest point of the trapezius on that side was really tight and was the source of the pain. I spent three sessions with her trying to get it to release, but could only get a day or two of relief. But it's definitely muscle tissue and not a slipped disc or anything. I'm not going to worry about it.
I've had kidney stones for years and was always told it was caused by too much Uric Acid in the body.
Who knows?
These agents aren't known to cause kidney stones. Most kidney stones in the US are caused by our diet which is rich in meat protein. Calcium supplementation does increase the risk of kidney stones. As far as the blood pressure goes, he should probably have his dose of the lisinopril reduced. Alternatively, there are other agents such as calcium channel blockers, beta blockers or Angiotensine receptor blockers that can also be tried. I would probably avoid diuretics at this point.
Hi,
Are there other symptoms present? A kidney stone is a solid mass made up of tiny crystals which may present as abdominal pain, blood in the urine, chills, excess urination at night, fever, flank pain or back pain, painful urination or urinary frequency/urgency. Abdominal CT scan, xrays or ultrasound of the kidneys will confirm the diagnosis of kidney stones.
Menstruation problems are hormone and stress related.
