11 mm Kidney Stone and pain meds Posted: 01-31-08 13:13pm
In 2003, I was teaching English in Ecuador
and had a kidney stone that was 11 mm!! I
had to get 4 injections of Morphine when I
was admitted to the hospital and that just
CALMED ME DOWN. I STILL had pain. They had
to go up and cut it up to get it to pass!
NOW, I have another one and I am in the
states. I HOPE that this one isnt that
big, but I am seeing my urologist today
and HOPEFULLY he will give me something
for pain so I can pass this thing or he
can go in and get it out! I am starting a
new job next week and cant have this going
on with everything else going on in my
life (lumbar damage to my bac, etc). I
know that in Ecuador they were very
generous with the Morphine, but I am not
sure how it will be here in the states. I
HOPE it is somewhat similar. Does anyone
have any idea or any idvice. I HATE these
things!!

How are you doing?
Did you see a doctor for your kidney
stones?
I get these all the time and I know they
are worse than giving birth!!!
Here in the USA we have pain scale and
doctors,nurses,hospitals, etc.. must ask
you what your pain level is 0-10..10 being
the worst.
Sorry to hear you suffer with other
problems as well...I am in the same
boat.
