wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I have recently posted a few posts wondering about kidney stones, wondering if that is what is wrong with me. Well I went to the dr last night and they then sent me from the office to the hosp. I have a huge kidney stone that is refusing to pass. The pain started a week ago tomorrow. If it does not pass by Monday they need to go in and get it. It is starting to cause backup in my kidney- the doctors words yesterday were "not a dangerous amount yet though" We don't have health ins to pay for these procedures. They did a CT scan (3 pix) and lab work. Please pray that this passes before Monday so that I don't have to go through any other procedures! Thanks in advance. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara in Colo Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Can't they do sound waves or something to break it up? http://www.webmd.com/kidney-stones/kidney-stones-other-treatment Eitherway, I am praying for you. Lara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandamom Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm sorry you are facing this. I was in the ER on Friday with what turned out to be kidney stones. When I was released the doc said that he wasn't sure I'd be able to pass them on my own. I have no insurance and I'm the sole income earner for my family. I can really relate to what you are going through. I hope that you are able to pass the stone soon. :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara They said they would discuss the different options if it does not pass on its own. I hope that is how because that looks less painful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I will pray. My sister had something similar recently and it did work itself out. They didn't have to go in and they really thought they would. I hope the same for you. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thank you for all the prayers. I *think* it passed. I did not notice a passing of a stone, but the pain has been gone for 4 hours. How do I know if its gone, or just not in a position to hurt? I have never had one before so I honestly don't know what to expect. All I know is the dr said I would KNOW when it passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can not imagine that kind of severe pain for 5 weeks :blink:. I was curled up in a ball for the last 8 hours it got so bad. :001_huh: I was in tears like a 2 year old baby. My poor kids were panicked- even though I tried to keep them out of my bedroom (I did NOT want them to see me like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My poor kids were panicked- even though I tried to keep them out of my bedroom (I did NOT want them to see me like that) The "severe" pain comes and goes. It is a constant dull pain with some severe sprinkled in. It is getting worse and now I have constant nausea UGH. For me, the pain comes and goes so you may not have passed yours. Last time I had this for 6 weeks and finally had to get pain shots to numb me from the waist down and I guess I passed it when I was on the shots because the pain went away.

Mallorie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I felt mine when it left the kidney, but I did not feel it the moment it actually passed, so I disagree with the doc on that one. Get a plastic hood for your toilet to pee into, so you catch it when it passes. I would hate to wonder if it did or not. I was able to be sedated through mine, I cannot imagine enduring that at home. You are both most definitely in my prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
