Kidney Stones -- How long to wait before surgery ? Posted: 10-06-07 15:04pm
Hello!
This is my second kidney stone attack. The
first one was EXTREMELY painful and I am
talking screaming pain, but it passed
within 2 hours in the hospital but at the
time I had 2 at the same time well last
Tuesday the second one decided it wanted
to try to come down cause I felt immense
pain in my right side near my kidney (the
first one came down about 2 years ago or
more).
Anywho...last Tuesday around midnight my
fiance took me to the hospital cause I was
REALLY hurting but not as bad as the last
time they took xrays and put me on meds
and stuff..turns out I have a 3 mm stone
that is trying to pass. He sent me home
with meds and told me to drink a lot of
fluids.
So here I am, it's been about 5 days since
I've been in the E.R. and I've been
resting and drinking lots of water..the
other day I puked 7 different times well
actually puking sessions each time 3 or 4
times each but then I started eating
saltine crackers which helped, I haven't
puked sense but off & on I've been
getting THE pain in my side and groin
mainly in my side.
Today I've been peeing like krazy and I
feel like I have to pee everytime.
I've been drinking water like krazy but
everytime I pee nothing comes out.
How long should I wait before I should
have surgery? Or do you think I am doing
the right thing and it should come down
soon?
Thanks,
--Heather

Yo, Heather....Funny your post showed up
today cause I just passed a stone Friday
at home. No pain though with this one.
About the size of a grain of sand....I've
had two other big ones before with the
same symptoms you had and I had to have
sound waves to break them up. Plus, I have
also had a bladder stone which I had to
have surgery for a couple of years ago.
I know exactly what you are going through
and I would probably head back to the ER
to start getting a workup so a urologist
can see you. If you are not peeing, then
your urethra might be blocked and that's
not good.
Get your fiance to start the car and get
going ASAP. Don't sit around and let the
urine build up. If there's a blockage,
they will at least pay attention to you
and help with your pain too.

No worries. I am peeing just fine,
actually quite a bit today, I haven't had
any pains today yet but I know it's there
cause it feels like I have to pee
constantly which was happening then when I
went to the E.R. the first time. If it
doesn't stop I am going to see if they can
break up the stones with the waves your
talking about. Is that painful? Would you
recommend cranberry juice? My fiance was
gonna pick some up for me.

Yep, cranberry juice is good, as is real
water. If this is your second stone, then
I recommend you see a urologist and try to
capture this latest one so you can let
them tell you what type it is. The
composition of the stones is the key to
adjusting your diet so that you won't get
future ones.
Yeah, the one I passed yesterday, I could
also feel and I knew exactly what it was.
I had been advised to cut out colas, tea,
coffee and some other stuff and eat more
green leafy veggies. I'm more of a meat
and potatoes guy and, unfortunately, my
love of cokes has led me off the path
again and I am suffering the consequences.
As I was peeing, I felt the little sucker
coming down the chute and it felt like a
boulder and then it just shot out. I
didn't feel pain, just a heavy feeling
somewhere in my groin prior to that.
The sonic waves are not particularly
painful. No, it didn't hurt me, but I was
pretty doped up at the time. I hope you
don't need regular surgery to get the
stone(s) out. I've never had that
particular little procedure. Yikes.
May you get through the rest of this
without much more pain. And I'll bet you
pay attention to changing your diet, won't
you?

Well, when I went to the E.R. the doctor
told me to drink lots of fluids and he
gave me a cup and strainer and told me to
strain my pee and to save the kidney stone
when it comes out so they can test it and
prevent it from happening again. But
nothing is coming out...grrrr...it's
frustrating and depressing cause I am just
so tired of the pain. He said it's small
enough to pass.
I haven't had any soda since then but I
did have some rasberry tea from Taco Bell
because I figured it was safe. But I've
decided I'm dropping the soda permenently,
I've learned my lesson. haha.
I'm gonna wait a little longer to see if
this comes down I am hoping it might cause
I've been peeing a lot since I've gotten
up today. So I'm hoping this will wash it
outta my system. How big is 3mm anyway.
Will I see it? Or will it be hard to see?
Yeah, I've been drinking water like mad =]
Thanks for the tips =]

Hi Again Posted: 10-06-07 20:48pm
Sorry I didn't get back to you. I started
watching football and well....Anywho, soda
may not be the culprit for you. That's why
you have to get that stone. You know, I'm
not sure how big 3mm is and whether it's
easy to pass or not.
How did the ER know your stone was small
enough to pass? Because you told them the
size? Did they get a x-ray themselves or
what? Did they give you anything for
pain?
I know you're frustrated and it hurts and
you just want to get it out, but hang in
there. Keep drinking lots of water and
cranberry juice, etc. Be sure you take
that cup thingee with you when you pee. PM
me if you need anything else.

They took a cat scan I think it was to
find out if it was a kidney stone and told
me how big it was and yes they gave me
pain medication. I haven't had to take
anything today, no pains
whats-so-ever...the thing that doesn't
make sense is when I passed my first
stone, I didn't see it when I peed...is
there anywhere else it could of gone? I
was in the hospital when it happend I felt
immense pain and then it just kinda went
away and I could jump around and
everything with no problem. Anyways,
thanks again for your help =]

Heather....As far as your first stone, you
passed it, okay. If you hadn't, you'd
probably still be in pain. Why you
couldn't find it, I've no idea. You
obviously know your girl plumbing better
than I do. Maybe I misunderstood, did you
have the cup and screen on the first one?
If not, the chances are that it came out
and you just missed it because they aren't
always gigantic. A small one can cause
mucho pain.
I am glad to hear that you did have a cat
scan and that you haven't had any pain.
Once they're out, you do feel completely
great. Let's hope you don't have any more
pain.

No, I didn't have a cup & screen for
the first kidney stone because I didn't
know what was wrong with me, all I knew is
that I hurt like hell and I was in
screaming pain and constantly puking, my
mom rushed me to the E.R. room cause she
was terrified it might be real serious
seeing how much pain I was in...when I got
there they put me on meds and took tests
and found out I had a kidney stone tried
to make me pee in a cup to take more tests
but it took a half an hour to pee in a cup
because it hurt sooo bad and it wouldn't
come out. Then when they gave me meds I
screamed and then started to calm down and
when the doc came back in he asked how I
felt and I said fine the medication worked
and he told me it wasn't the meds, the
stone just passed.

anymore. Let me know.

was terrified it might be real serious
seeing how much pain I was in...when I got
there they put me on meds and took tests
and found out I had a kidney stone tried
to make me pee in a cup to take more tests
but it took a half an hour to pee in a cup
because it hurt sooo bad and it wouldn't
come out. Then when they gave me meds I
screamed and then started to calm down and
when the doc came back in he asked how I
felt and I said fine the medication worked
and he told me it wasn't the meds, the
stone just
passed.
Heather....Just checking to see how things
are going. Did you pass and collect the
stone yet? I hope you are not in pain
anymore. Let me know.
LSG
I'm okay. My side hasn't hurt in 2 days
this is the 3rd day now. I've had the
constant urge to pee a lot though had a
hard time sleeping last night because of
it. No I haven't passed the stone yet.
I've been trying to eat a lot and drink
lots of water and cranberry juice though.

Hi Sweetie! Me Fairy*godmother Posted: 10-12-07 15:14pm
Hi Heather, my heart goes out to you
sweetie, my husband passes a stone at
least once twice a year. He swears that
drinking beer makes his come out faster
than h2o or cranberry juice. (Good Excuse
anyway!)I do know the cranberry juice is
best for urinary tract infections, had no
idea they benefited kidney stones. I have
collected a small bottle of stones my
husband has passed. I tease him and tell
him one day I'm gonna make a bracelet or
necklace with them. I do hope you will
pass this soon and get to feeling so much
better! HUGS!

Glad you're not hurting on your side.
Maybe the stone has made it into your
bladder and is waiting for a good time to
make its escape!!haha
If you have any more pain, I would check
into the sonic treatment. Good luck.

Well, I read on a site that beer &
cranberry juice are actually not really
good for kidney stones. But I was told to
just drink lots of liquids in general.
Were going to Eugene (almost 2 hours out
of town) on Monday so I am hoping I'll be
fine and Tuesday I start my new job =]
Thanks for the love. Sorry to hear about
your husband though...I know how painful
it can be.

I was going to go see a Urologist and see
if they can do the sonic wave treatment
but they said it would be several thousand
dollars for the precedure and I don't have
insurance so I just have to be patient and
let it pass. Hopefully, since I've been
taking Aloe Vera and lots of water it will
pass smoothly.

Hope your trip goes well and the new job.
Hopefully, your job has insurance that
will cover you for any procedures on the
horizon. Sorry, you're in the position of
not being able to get something that would
help you. You know we all wish you the
best.
