895634 tn?1283989210 Taking pain killers for the pain is not the proper treatment for kidney stones. Taking a pain killer to avoid the pain is not good medicine. It is masking the underlying condition which can be a serious one. A hepatologist is not an expert in kidney disease. They should refer you to a Urologist. A Urologist specializes in diseases and conditions of the kidneys and urinary track.
Avatar n tn I have had recurrent kidney stones since 2000 in 2001 I finally was told that I have Medullary Sponge Kidneys the problem is that in the last 2 months I have passed at least one stone a week and I am sick of being in continuous pain. The ER won't do anything but give me pain medicine and sometimes treats me as if I am just a seeker of drugs.
Avatar f tn I have recently had a stent put in to help get to 2 small stones in my kidney I was in excrusiating pain and was rushed into hospital and the stent fell out while passing urine. I am still in pain but it is mostly controlled by pain killers and anti inflammatory tablets to. Do i have another stent put in as the surgeon couldnt get to the stones to laser them thats why he put a stent in? Or do i have proper surgery to remove them once and for all?
Avatar f tn Has anyone had kidney stones during your pregnancy and what did the pain feel like. I went to the hospital earlier and was sent home and told I was just experiencing round lig pain but I'm a bit skeptical of that verdict because it lasted for hours and the pain was so intense. I didn't test positive for a uti either but idk what to think. I dont have bloody urine but i swear i peed out something resembling a small pebble earlier too.
Avatar n tn They may stay in your kidneys or travel out of your body through the urinary tract. Kidney stones often cause no pain while they are in the kidneys, but they can cause sudden, severe pain as they travel from the kidneys to the bladder. Most small stones which are less than 5mm move out of the body without the need for any treatment other than drinking extra fluids and taking pain medicine.The average time a stone takes to pass ranges between 1 and 3 weeks.
Avatar m tn you should do the renal ultrasound, sometimes kidney stones do give pain and other symptoms like nause. you can break stones with lithotripsy, or treat renal lithiasis with traditional Chinese medicine. You think it is wired pain on your right side, that could be the referred pain, or you have ever falled down recently or spend too much time sit on your chair for a long time? Did you ever find blood in your urine?
Avatar f tn Come to find out I have two kidney stones one that is in the process of passing and one that is still in my kidney.. I am 27 weeks ... Has anybody else had kidney stones during their pregnancy? I'm honestly so miserable and I can't eat and I'm worried about my baby . Any suggestions ?
Avatar m tn Small kidney stones may naturally be expelled through the urine while bigger stones may cause obstruction and infection. Take the medicine as prescribed and do keep us posted with your follow-up. Best regards.
535822 tn?1443976780 First of all I have kidney stones ever present inside my kidney. They don't usually cause problems. 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.
Avatar f tn If you also suffer with reoccurring kidney pain whether you are passing stones or not...please respond as I am relieved to know I am not the only one. Beginning to think that I would never find someone that can identify with me. I would like to exchange information with another woman that has been experincing similiar symptoms. Thanks for your time in advance.
Avatar m tn Second comes the ovarian cyst, again if no symptoms no treatment required it is a small cyst just needing ultrasound surveillance 4-6 weekly and will most probably disappear on its own. Third is the kidney stone, again if your wife is pain free no treatment indicated just instruct her to drink a lot of water but she must have a review with the urologist to check her kidney functions and to rule out any obstruction. I hope u feel better now .
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. When i walk or move around there is no pressure (pain) but when i sit or lay down the pressure feeling starts.
Avatar n tn what is the common treatment for someone that has a history of kidney stones if entering the ER. shouldn't this pt get a stent?
Avatar f tn If he has been in rural areas of Zimbabwe, perhaps he was exposed to parasitic disease and perhaps a consultation with a tropical medicine physician would be in order. With regard to kidney stones, the diagnosis is quite easy to make based on a CT scan.
Avatar m tn In February surprise, surprise, I started having this chronic pain in my right and left kidneys. About a month passed along with the kidney stones in my right kidney, but my left flank and groin area continued to hurt for about a month. My mom was nervous about me having a CT scan(radiation) done to see what exactly was causing my pain so I had an IVP instead to see if there was any obstruction. No obstruction was shown nor stones.
443757 tn?1217551190 For my first few months of treatment I probably didnt drink nearly enough water and too much caffeine, but for the last 2 mos have drank plenty of water and hardly any caffeine. Could the kidney pain be due to taking too many Riba pills and not drinking enough water? Has anyone else experienced this while going through treament? The pain is very intermittent and is not severe whatsoever, but I feel it. I will talk to my GI at my next appt about this.
Avatar m tn My wife has been having extreme kidney pain (left) after kidney stones and the doctors don't seem to agree on what is happening. Ultrasound - Slightly bulky upper pole on right kidney with subtle altered echopattern and early loss of cortio-medullary differentiation. no focal lesion on either side. Normal colour flow on doppler. CT scan - no contrast shows nothing abnormal. Contrast - Both kidneys show hypodense lesions that are ill defined in the superior poles involving the cortical.
Avatar m tn 7 mm needs other methods of kidney stone treatment. I’ll suggest consulting a urologist for the same and seeking treatment depending on the size of the stone. If the size of the stone is small, it’s usually treated with ESWL in which shock waves are given from outside and stone breaks into small pieces. On the other hand, if the stone is quite big, then the surgical removal of the stone is a better option.
Avatar n tn While stone position in kidney, I will notice it easily. My stomatch stars to swealling, right side of lower stomatch gets pain. could you suggest how I can get full relief from it?
Avatar m tn The size, configuration, and location affect the spontaneous passage of stones. However, stones less than 4 mm in diameter located in the lower ureter have a 90% change of passing. In contrast, stones greater than 6 mm in diameter have only a 20% chance of passing spontaneously." So, I don't think you could do it without getting medical intervention to make it smaller first, since yours is 16 mm.
Avatar f tn In the Spring of 2014 however I had an experience with misread cat scans and misdiagnosed kidney stones that caused me months of pain and a urine stream that at times was what looked like pure blood. All of that took place at a VA Hospital and I finally had enough! I did what I recommend you do and I CHANGED DOCTORS and got the proper treatment. In my case, I went to a civilian Urologist and had the necessary surgery to remove the THREE stones that were causing me those problems.
Avatar f tn They will also check ur urine for kidney infection. If the pain gets unbearable, definitely go to ER. You dont want to be in too much pain while pregnant, it can stress baby out. Ive dealt with numerous stones.
