Avatar f tn Hi, i too have taken topamax I was on 200 mg for 3 years for chiari headaches and it didnt do anything for me as Selma said I too havent found a med that helps with chiari headaches and there are so many side effects like topamaz can cause kidney stones. I mean sometimes the treatment can cause worse problems. I have been put on zonigrine and its like topamax and its doing nothing for me so Im getting off of it. It too can cause kidney stones. Like we need anymore problems.

4159057 tn?1350422784 Cystinuria is a cause of persistent kidney stones. It is a disease involving the defective transepithelial transport of cystine and dibasic amino acids in the kidney and intestine, and is one of many causes of kidney stones. If not treated properly, the disease could cause serious damage to the kidneys and surrounding organs, and in some rare cases death. The stones may be identified by a positive nitroprusside cyanide test. The crystals are usually hexagonal, translucent, white.
Avatar n tn I had kidney stone surgically removed two months ago. I've been basically pain free since the removal of the stent a week later. But just yesterday I started to get an ache in my left side, where it had hurt previously. Could it be surgically related, or am I potentially dealing with another stone? My back does not ache nor is it severe pain at this time.
Avatar f tn Read my post and buy the Kidney Stone Handbook. You can have treatment to stop stones from forming. .. if you find the right urologist. You have to have a lab test called a 24 urine test done... this tells the composition of the stones which does change over time Also some urologists will order this test but don't really understand how to interpret it... depending on where you live a nephrologist may be able to help you.
Avatar m tn What I can say something about that I know is having two stones, each 5mm, with one in each kidney. Yes, they could each be causing you pain, but having shoulder pain from kidney stones is something I have never experienced. I have always had pain, some very severe pain, in my kidney area on either side, but that pain has never traveled to my shoulders. That's covering many years and many stones for me personally too.
Avatar n tn Calcium oxalate crystals in the urine are the most common constituent of human kidney stones. Also, blood in the urine can be caused by a lot of things. Some are serious, including cancers, trauma, stones, infections, and obstructions of the urinary tract. Others are less important and may require no treatment. These may include viral infections, nonspecific inflammations of the kidney, medications and benign prostate enlargement. As kidney stone develops, they can also cause hematuria.

They did surgery to put in stint's to drain off the infection and they will wait about 2 weeks to remove the stones.

Avatar n tn calcium oxalate stones, struvite stones, uric acid stones or cystine stones. Potassium citrate is used for the treatment of stones. Treatment modes include oral medicines, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithrotripsy (ESWL), uteroscopic stone removal and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Please discuss these treatment options with your urologist. Also take less calcium and oxalate rich foods and supplements like dairy products, colas, chocolate, peanuts, leafy vegetables, and tea. I hope it helps.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 20 mm stone in my right kidney which was removed by lithotripsy and now as per ultrasound report the kidney is clear and now it is two month since the treatment. But after two months still i have now a different pressure like pain at the right side (back side) due to this pressure i always feel anxiety and tiredness.

Avatar f tn I have only been on Topamax for my migraines since November 2010 and by January I had four kidney stones. One in my left kidney and three in my right. Now I have been taken off Topamax and it was so far the best medication for my migraines I was on 100mg of Topamax and went from having a migraine everyday to once a month. I miss Topamax but the pain of my kidney stones was much worse.
