I found out that I have a kidney stone(5.3mm) in my right kidney.After three days my left kidney started to hurt.Doctor said I didn't need to do ultrasound but he suspected it to be another stone.He said since I have found out that I have have a kidney stone I should drink a lot of water and it'll work for both kidneys.Its been five days but it hasn't hurt yet.They are saying the pain is going to be excruciating if it comes.How long does it generally take the stone to pass?
I'm SO extremely upset right now, and have been since Saturday night. Just looking for some insight, and thoughts from you guys because I'm so down and out and don't know how I should handle this situation of mine. Saturday night, I was sitting watching Christmas movies with the kids...when I started to get a really bad pain on my left side, going into my lower back.
I have dealt with kidney stones since I was 14 years old (1999) and have passed around 300 since then. My last CT scan showed about 20 stones in my kidneys and I also know I have at least 5 stuck in both ureters that they can't see on imaging. October 1st, I passed one of the large stones that has been stuck since March. I have seen 3 different urologists over the years.
t throw it up (I have kidney stones that cause me to throw up everything for days) it has helped.
I went to my doctor with severe pain in the lower right side pelvic area. She said I had a kidney stone. I had urine and blood tests and then a CT Scan. The stone is 9mm and located in the lower right pelvic region based on that scan. Now she wants me to see Urology, but refuses to state why. Is the stone too large to pass on its own or what? Why can't she just explain so I will understand the necessity of going to Urology?
The pain sounds similar to mine and anyone who has kidney stones.. have you had a cat scan to see if you have them? I know your pain though..because I feel like that all the time and it's a bummer because this is when we're supposed to be "young and healthy". But MSK is a birth abnormality that causes UTI's, kidney stones and cysts, blood in the urine, infections etc. So I would look into that, because your symptoms sound similar to mine.
ve had kidney stones, and surgery to put stints in. And this pain from cellulitis is even more painful than kidney stones.
Apparently I'm supposed to lay in bed a lot, and keep my foot elevated. But I can't just lay in bed for several weeks. And it seems odd, but it is more painful to be laying down than to sit in a chair. Also, laying down makes it so sitting back up, and standing, are so painful that I have to spend half an hour gradually going from laying down to standing.
Surgical therapy for stones is reserved, if the stones do not pass and are causing an obstruction to flow of urine or if they cause repeated infections or if they are too large to pass through. So, besides adopting lifestyle measures and taking medications, monitoring may be essential to see for any changes in size. Discuss the possibilities with your consulting doctor.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
At 32 weeks i was having contractions and went to the hospital. They stopped them with a shot.
They also found small kidney stones but none were in the way so they just left them alone. I delivered at 38+3. I still get kidney pain but I'm just guessing the stones are trying to pass or get bigger.
Good luck momma!
Both urologist told me the same as what yours said, my chronic back pain was not related to kidney stones. They were correct and I was diagnosed with other issues that was the cause of most of my chronic low back pain. Kidney stone pain is acute and horrid! I suggest that you have your back pain investigated.
When I am actually passing a kidney stone only IV morphine helps ease the pain, nothing stops it. I have been given Toradol also but had no significant relief.
I am at my wits end and have no idea what else to do. I had my first kidney stones when i was 19. They first put a stent inside to help with the passing but later found out that they weren't going anywheres caue they were sitting in a pocket in my kidneys. they did Lipo and they i was sent on my way. Well for the past 12 years i had more stones returned and nothing really done expect given meds to help the pain.(which most times didn't help).
Thanks linda for replying :) My GFR was 45 when I went to the nephro. He did another renal function panel, and the creatinine got better, so now my GFR is at 66. So, I went from being in stage 3 CKD for the past several months to stage 2 all of a sudden. Urine looked good, and we're still waiting on a lupus blood test. He said that just because the creatinine went down doesn't mean it will stay down, and doesn't mean there is nothing wrong.
