Hope it never happens to me.

Wes I feel your pain right now. I had a stone hit me 10 days ago. Hurt like a MF'er all night long finally had enough of pain rolling around on the floor and went to the hospital. They gave me morphine and then did a CT scan. I was still in a lot of pain 30 minutes after they gave me the morphine. The Dr ordered Torodol for me. The torodol helped a little but did not kill the pain. Gave me a precription for Vicadin and Torodol, sent me home hurt the rest of the day Wednesday and some Thursday morning. Eased off and thought it was done. I had a little more pain on Friday about noon and some Friday night about 12:30. I thought it was gone then. I setup and appointment with the urologist for Monday at 8:30 they took Xrays and said that I must have passed it. I went to work and climbed a ladder all day. On my way home Monday night the pain started again and it was awful. I got home took a Torodol and Vicadin and it still hurt like hell. I called the Dr's nurse first thing Tuesday morning and she made me an appointment for that afternoon. They took 3 Xrays and finally saw it in one of them. It was at the exit of my Ureathra right at the bladder. He gave me a presciption for Flomax and Demerol. I have yet to pass the bastard. He did tell me it was 3mm. Whats even worse. I got an appoinment Monday afternoon that if I dont pass it he is going to get it. Another thing thats worse I got 2 waiting in my right kidney on 4-5mm and the other 5+mm. He wants to break those up and get them out too.

I told my mother-in-law the other day that a woman aint got nothing on me I have had 2 natural child births(2 kidney stones) and a C section(Inguinal Hernia repair 8 weeks ago).

Hope the best for you and myself. That reminds me I got to go pee and get a cup of water. lol

He told me if it didn't pass in 8 days to call him. He said 2mm wasn't bad at all and that it was already about to drop in my bladder. He said pissing it out was the easy part, the painful part was what you just described. I got some Flomax prescribed to me today too. He said the chances of a 2mm not passing on its own is slim. I hope he is right.

Believe it or not, the doc asked me "you like beer?" I said "well of course I like beer". He said, "the best thing you can do is stop and get a 12 pack on your way home and drink it all tonight. I bet you pass it before bedtime." SO........I might try that!

Dr told me to drink beer too. Told him I didn't really like beer but I could drink the crap outa some SOCO and coke with lime. He said to drink a lot of fluid just like you would when you go out drinking. I told him Tuesday that if it was no out by tonight that I was going on a drinking regimine the weekend and would do my best to get it out. Looks like a 1/2 gallon of SOCO it is for tonight.

When you pass the kidney stone i would like to have it sir. With documentation that it is from the wes whittle himself. Sucker might be worth something in the future.

oldskoolstang 08-10-2012 09:06 PM

I've had 3. They are terrible. I wish you the best. I don't know about you guys, but every one I had came with extreme back pain, lots of vomiting, and total discomfort. I could never get comfortable and hurt like hell last time. Lasted almost 3 days. I had to give my pistol to my roommate so I didn't off myself.... They said the probable cause of mine was too much sweet tea and a lifetime of well water that is high in limestone and calcium deposits. I had mine checked out and 2 were calcium stones and one was a uric acid stone. So, the doctor's prediction was that I would have more. Which really sucks.

Tried booze, beer and morphine, didn't do much for the pain but after enough I didn't care about the pain........a little more = pass out = Relief............

So I had to be put to sleep yesterday to have the 3mm stone that has been lodged in my Urter for 4 weeks to be extracted. I had passed 2 small fragments last week and then Tuesday night at 10:00 pm I passed a piece a little smaller than a okra seed. I thought that was it and did not have to have the procedure done--WRONG. I still had a piece in there bigger than an okra seed. They put me to sleep and used the spoon to get it out. Just imagine how they had to get to the stone. I will say this that it feels like I am peeing razor blades when I got to go.

Don't worry mine really does.

wife had a couple. one they reached up in there and pulled it out. (omg!!!) another couple they blasted with some ultrasonic deal. one had nearly shut down her kidney and caused a bad kidney infection.

WWhittle 08-31-2012 08:46 AM

I haven't had any more pain, but I also haven't noticed passing mine. At my last visit with my doctor he said i might pass it without knowing?? I have been wondering if I should make an appointment to go back and get an xray and see if it's still in there.

I have made a trip a week for the last 4 weeks and he has taken X-rays every time. Mine had been in the same spot. He told me last week that if it was not passed by Wed morning he was going in for it. And he did. I feel much better now. Pain is better and it don't feel like I gotta pee every 10 min.

Bradleyrj 08-31-2012 12:57 PM

Dang bro sorry to hear you were still dealing with that. I thought the last time we talked you were good to go.

I feel like I'm back to 100% normal. Wonder if I passed it without knowing? It was/is only 2mm.

Good news. I have a co-worker that has had a rough time with them and missed a lot of work.

It's been a battle. I'm glad it's over and I won. There for a bit I thought the little stone was going to take me out. I fought hard and the battle is over. Victory is mine. Well with the Dr's help of course.
