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!
