Ever Heard of a "phantom" Kindey Stone Posted: 10-13-04 12:50pm
I am pretty sure that it is normal to have
pain where you once had a stone. Did
you pass a whole stone or did you have
surgery?
I had an 8mm stone try to pass in
june..After having lipotripsy to break it
up, I passed what I thought was all of the
stone. Until a month later, I had
horrible pain in the same side and blood
in my urine. A day later I passed a
tiny piece of the original stone that had
been pushed back up into my kidney during
the lipotripsy. Becuase my stone was
so large I still get "phantom" pains in
the area the stone was... I had my
doctor do a mri just to make sure there
were no other stones or pieces of stones
causing the pain. That's when he told
me it is normal to have "phantom" pain and
that it could last several months. My
mri confirmed that, atleast in my left
kidney, I do not have a stone. (it is
show a large stone in my right kidney
though -- lucky me :0)
if you had surgery, I would check with
your doctor to make sure you don't have
any straggling pieces hanging around..If
you passed the stone on your own, you may
have scar tissue or other damage causing
you the pain..Or it could just be phantom
pain. I'd check with your doc!
