Common Questions and Answers about Kidney stones emergency room

I have had kidney stones since 2001. Currently (as of May 1) I have had a 15 mm and a 10 mm (as well as several of their babies) in my kidney. I have been scheduled for a systoscopy but when I went for my pre-op, I had extremely (dangerous) high blood pressure. I have never had this high blood pressure in my life (even when I went to the emergency room for kidney stone attacks).
The doctors said that they think it was just kidney stones because after I left the emergency room it did hurt at the end of me going pee. But if it was kidney stones I feel like they would have shown up on a ct scan and I also feel like the blood would be gone by now since I passed it. If any of you can help me understand this that would be great, Thanks.
I am being treated for the infection. At the same time as the appendicitis I went to the emergency room for kidney stones. I had lithotripsy done for that 1 week ago to remove the stone. Over the past year I have experienced the following symptoms... I have been to many different docs and the emergency room and don't know what to do. All of these symptoms may not be relevant, but I thought more information the better.
I was born with a condition that causes my body to create kidney stones. I have been to the emergency room 4 or 5 times in the past 18 years for the large stones, small ones pass ok. My first stone caused bleeding and severe back pain also with pain in the lower abdomen area along with hot/cold flashes and vomiting. It may feel like someone is squeezing your kidney while at the same time stabbing it with an ice pick. I first though it was my appendix. I was wrong.

We all have different pain thresholds and you may be able to handle pain a lot better than me, for example. What I can tell you is that as my stones start to make themselves known, I can handle the pain somewhat as it builds up. After a certain point though, there is no way I can handle it and in fact, normal pain meds like Hydro 10's won't help me very much, for very long! I must get to an emergency room and get a pain shot of something that kills the pain, because it's that bad.
I have been to the emergency room 4 times in the past 18 years for the large stones, small ones pass ok. Although I am a male I understand very well the pain you may be in. My first stone caused bleeding and severe back pain also with pain in the lower abdomen area along with hot/cold flashes and vomiting. I though it was my appendix. I was wrong. My wife has had cysts removed from here ovaries wich may be the case but it sounds like kidney stones.
I have had a tonne of kidney stones in the past, but in the recent months I have been told that calcium oxalate crystals have been present. I had my fair share of emergency room visits with renal colic and I was never told about any crystals but always told of blood being present in urine. Despite the number of years of having stones, the oxalate crystals being present in urine is totally new to me. I wish you the best luck and health
for your daughter and you.

About a year ago i began having a dull but somtimes sharp pain in my lower left side of back. Around the kidney area. I went to the emergency room and they did a ct scan on me for possible kidney stones. The ct scan showed nothing. And a couple months later the pain faded. Well about 4 months ago in march or april it came back, still a dull pain, but mostly hurts the worst in the morning, but when i get up and move around it tends to fade a little. But is still there.
The last surgery I had was in 2006. I also have had/have kidney stones in my left kidney, I passed a 13mm one in June 2006. In the past year I have not had any reoccuring problems with my obstuction and stones, although I still have 6mm stone in my left kidney. This past week, I did however urinate large amount of blood, my urine was cola colored. With my history I decided to go to the emergency room cause I was very concerned.
Hi and WELCOME to our Kidney Stone Community. I'm not a doctor, but do have too much experience with kidney stones. For me, I'd get pings and pangs in my kidney as well as microhematuria (blood you cannot see by eye) in my urine when I have stones. I've also had the flank pain you describe .. for me it's been in the lower back. I hope with lots of water your stones move out for you uneveventfully.
Please keep in touch. From what I've read stones <5.
