kidney stones, goin to the hospital later... I'm back!

[CB]

woke up with pain in my back and belly. went for a swim and returned with much more pain and feeling sick. saw a doctor, he gave me a pain killer injection and told me to go to the hospital tonight if the pain comes back. so between now an the pain arrising, I'm reading the posts on the board, do some searches for misc. stuff and checking my mails.

Hopefully when I do need to go to the hospital I won't be out for too long.
See you guys later...

If you have a or a couple of stones, could take 1 to 8 weeks to pass. There are 3 different sizes. Even the small size feels like your trying to piss out a bowling ball.
Best of luck dude!!

My bro and uncle have both had kidney stones.
It runs in my family.

When my bro had one a while back, the hospital put a stint in so it would pass easier.

Hang in there man and keep us updated.

[captnsim]

Lucky you...

My dad has been fighting kidney stones for the last 5 years or so. He has had a rough and unusual case so I won't get into it. For my sake I hope it skips a generation. 

Good luck and hope you pass them quickly.

[Slowpoke]

I feel for you having had 3 stones so far 
Hope they pass easy and soon.

Sorry to hear that. I past one once. It seems like it took about 24 hours once the pain started for it to pass.

[Khyron]

good luck....

See if you can keep it.

Or...you can have what happened to me....
Had amazingly bad pains, which came on slow, then ramped up so fast I thought I was going to die.
My wife rushed me to Emergency.
I had to crawl out of the car.
After admitting, I was given morphene, with little effect.
Then came Torrodol....wow! That was a trip!
Pain went away after a day.
I never saw the stone pass....and it didn't. My kidney became infected (without my knowledge), then DIED!
So now I have one kidney, and I had no idea.

Definately have that looked at, CB.  I hope all checks out OK and you get to feeling better soon......

I'm sorry to say welcome to the club.  I've had nearly 15 of them myself.  They're never fun.  I have yet to determine what actually causes mine.  Mine don't appear to be related to stress or eating habits and they've lasted anywhere from 30 minutes to 15 hours. There's a study circulating on the internet about how OJ (not cranberry) can help reduce the risk of getting stones.   

[A383Wing]

I have had them also....not a pleasant experience....I did the cranberry juice thing....have not had them for almost 10 years now

Cranberry juice thing? I love cranbeery juice... should I not be drinking it?

[A383Wing]

Not what I meant, sorry...doctor told me to drink all I could to stop stones from forming...so I did

[Sinister68]

I wish cranberry would've worked for me; Didn't stop the last 2 which were only 4 days apart.  Now I'm trying OJ/grapefruit juice to see if that will help.

[skip68]

    Christian, since I have your car in my garage and you are having medical issues,    I have a paper I need you to sign.     I'll talk to you later.  Chuck...........

[CB]

well, I am back! 

I went to the ER Sunday evening and they kept me there.
They inmidiatelly started the intravenous therapy with Papaverine and I didn't feel a thing.
Monday they took a CT-scan and this morning they did a small surgery to remove two stones.
There is still 1 small stone present in my kidney that needs to be taken care of soon.


Thanks guys for all the kind words!
