I started feeling pain on Friday at 5am
Went to my Doc 3pm Friday
4pm catscan to verify what it was
pain meds all weekend and I still have pain
This really svcks
went to specialist on monday. better pain meds
going into hospital friday to have it removed.
wish me luck.
When the doctor went in for the stone. He found that was impacted in my
kidney and I have a very bad kidney infection. He placed a stent in my
uretor. He wants my kidney to get healthy before trying to get the stone
again.
The saga continues.
Thank you for all your support and advise in this situation.
I am feeling much better now. I have been on antibiotics for over a week
and am back @ work. The stint relieves the press in my kidney so the pain in
almost gone. Since the stone is impacted the doctor wants to wait another
2 weeks before trying to remove it. Let my body totaly recover from the infection.
Thanks again for all your support and advise.
I will let you know more
when I know more

I do not know if this saga will ever end.
It all started on March 19th. I woke up with that wonderful back pain.
The
kind I get when I have a kidney stone. That day I went to my Doctor
and then had a catscan to confirm my ailment. March 22nd I went to the
urologist and he gave me the strainer and some pain meds. By March
24th the pain meds were not working. I was admitted to the hospital on
March 26th to have the stone removed. The doctor performed cystoscopy
on me. That is when they enter where the urine exits and try to remove
the kidney stone.
Well, when he got to my kidney he found a horrible infection and a 6mm
kidney stone impacted. He placed a stent between my kidney and bladder.
But was unable to remove the stone. I was sent home the next day and
placed on antibiotics for 10 days. I went to the urologist again on
March 31st.
He said I could return to work on April 1st. And he would schedule
lithotripsy for me in the near future. Well, then next date available
was May 1st. I had a couple of tests done before that date. On May
1st, I went to University Hospital in Newark for the lithotripsy
procedure. That is where they use shock waves to try and break up the
kidney stone. After the procedure, the doctor is only 60/40% sure he
broke up the stone. I have to pee in a strainer and see if pieces come
out. He wants me to have an X-Ray next week. Then he will be able to
tell me more. I still have the stent
between my kidney and bladder. I am not aloud to do much for the next
couple of days. Just rest and heal. The procedure really beat the
hell out of my back. I hope I do pass some kidney stone fragments. I
guess my feeling that this would not work, might have come true. But,
there is still hope. I hope. So, I'll be home taking my pain killers
for the next week.
Thank you all for your concern and encouragement during these painful
times.
