Had surgery last month it was the worst remove 8 stones still weak but glad to be alive

No one ! Not even my enemies should go through this!!!! I cried!!!!!

I’m barely 22 and just had my first ever kidney stone on Sunday (through Tuesday morning) and I can’t even begin to explain how excruciatingly painful it was. Throwing up, nearly fainting, writhing on the ground. I kept thinking to myself “I feel like I’m dying” but to be honest death would’ve been merciful and gladly welcomed to not have to experience anymore pain like that. Went to the ER after 5 hours of intense intense 11/10 pain and finally got IV painkillers which helped SO MUCH. They confirmed it was a 4mm kidney stone and sent me home with more painkillers. Passed on its own almost two days later and I COULD NOT BE MORE GRATEFUL! Catch me chugging a gallon of water a day from here on out

I had the same thing but I couldn't pass mine and had to have a laser shoved up in me and had to have a stent in for 2 weeks and it was so painful every time I had to pee. You got lucky passing it on your own. I hope I never have to go through that again. God bless our big beautiful ❤️'s.

​@joshualord5725 the morphine worked for me, hope you are OK man.

I cannot believe I have come across this Video, I am going into Hospital tomorrow Morning for a Kidney Stone removal, they attempted to remove it 4 weeks ago but the ureter was too narrow to get the instruments in, so a stent was placed for the last 4 weeks. I cannot have Lithotripsy because I have a large cyst right next to the stone which I am unable to pass naturally due to its size, I hope it is removed tomorrow as I have had all of the symptoms you mentioned especially the abdominal and back pain, thank you for such an informative Video

I’ve been having kidney stones since I was 27 years old now I’m 52, I have chronic stones and sometimes I don’t feel the pain but most of the time I’m in extreme pain and discomfort, I had every procedure done except surgery , I started feeling pain this past Tuesday and today is Thursday and it’s going to be out by morning hopefully 🙏, this video is the best explanation I’ve ever seen

I'm going in to get a stint and sonar for my 1.3cm stone on friday

I just got up one morning with unbearable intense pain and started throwing up, and was diagnosed with a kidney stone, when I went to the hospital, no warning signs/symptoms before that morning.

That’s how I was and it was excruciating pain 😖😖😖😖 I was given a shot at the ER, prescribed antibiotics, pain meds, and zofran. I got some relief, now I feel like the same things are happening again and it’s only been a little over a week since I was at the ER

G-D BLESS this woman ❤

Yes, an extremely unpleasant experience. Two occasions I was overwhelmed with that aweful pain . Once in Thailand and once on a road trip in Malaysia. The hospitals treated me for the pain and gave me medicine to flush the stone out. I never did see any fragments or stone in my urine. Then one night back in the UK a year or so after the last episode the pain returned for a third time.This time even worse and incapacitating. Even my dog wouldn’t come near me. I phoned an “out of hours doctor who wanted me to drive twenty miles to see him. A big no no. Ended up with a 999 call and the para medics managed to settle me with morphine. I was taken to A and E where they found I had a 7mm stone blocking my Ureter. About three days later a small tube was inserted to bypass the stone and three months later the stone was removed. A truly horrible experience but how lucky to live in this age where kidney stones can be treated.

Most helpful explanation. Out of the videos I've researched (a lot), yours was by far the most comprehensive and useful. Thank you,

Very informative and through. Thank you Dr.

Having experienced 1 or 2 stones a year since I was 30, I found your post to be very accurate. I would rather know the truth about the pain and how it's managed than the physician not being truthful about what to expect. My very first urologist saw me for a follow up and removed the stents. Another painful part of kidney stones. When he was done I sat up and said, " Man I am glad that is over." the doctor kind of chuckled and said, "Enjoy the feeling as long as you can because you'll be back with more stones." And he was right. Thank you for an informative post.

Very informative and helpful. I have kidney stones some of the systems I’ve had is pain in my lower back pain in testicular on the same side as the kidney effected with stones. I’m going in for the scope procedure in 2 days CT scan showed a couple stones in my kidney and in the uruter as well as one in my blather

@bobbailey4954

Follow up I had the procedure with the scope up my urethra and the laser with the claw the surgeon said the after zapping the worst stones the view was obstructed so he put a stent just below my kidney and he will have to go in to remove the rest of the stones in my kidney. He also said my kidney was going into failure so the timing was right to save my left kidney. For that I’m grateful. As far as pain I would liken it to pissing razor blades this is day 2 of recovery and the bleeding is almost gone but the sharp pain even with pain meds is still very much with me. And of course drinking a lot of water is mandatory for recovery. Get checked out if you can a simple Cscan will tell the truth about kidney stones

Two weeks ago I was brought to my German hospital with kidney stones. It started on the right side just behind the lowest rip on my back. The feeling was comparable to a flickering muscular cramp. The pain was still somewhat manageable BUT it became worse every minute. It radiated right through to the chest side and went down towards the groin. When I arrived at hospital the pain was excuciating, I felt weak, I was sweating like hell, my clothes were wet, I felt nauseous and started fainting. I could barely stand on my feet and only had one wish: I asked myself if I had suffered enough that I was allowed to pass out happily to save me from that excruciating amount of pain. I described the mentioned pain development as accurately as possible. I spoke very slowly and quietly because I had severe difficulties expressing my thoughts. The ER-doctor asked if the pain was colicular in nature. My harsh reply was: "What the hell does that mean?! I have never had a colic in my life and have no clue how it feels like!" Due to the intense pain I was upset .. and I was scared to death. I hope she did not take it offensively. Calmly she explained to me how colicular pain feels like (waves) and I said: "No..... no waves! Just INTENSE pain!" I was put on high dosed intravenous painkillers immediately and the pain went down. Let's say I could handle it easily again. I am thankful for what she did. And btw: There had not been any waves because a large amount of kidney 'sand' had accumulated right in front of my bladder forming a concrete like blockage. No waves of pain because no big stones had travelled. Due to my tiny anatomy I was unable to pee them out and I had never peed anything out in my life. Du to the amount of build up pressure my kidney had burst (fornix rupture). Yesterday the bill from the hospital arrived: Nine days in hospital for 90 €. 😉

Straight & simple talk here. I'd get up to 4 very large (oxalate) kidney stones a year. I've had NONE for 7 years now. I use something called 'Stone Breaker' tablets I get from Walmart. Active ingredient is something called Chanca Piedra & there are other brands available. Dosage is recommended 3 tablets a day (about 25 cents each) but I find that one a day works for me. If I feel back pain like from a pending stone I simply go to two tabs a day for a while & never had a problem.

5mm kidney stone I’m trying to pass . The pain has me up hurting immensely.

Everyone usually says the kidney stones present with flank or back pain. Adding abdominal pain to my data banks now. Thanks for always educating us Doc!

She said as soon as she saw my face, she knew something was wrong. She took me in her pajamas. The clinic said they believe I had a kidney stone, but told me to go to the hospital now and he called ahead. The fastest I’ve ever been seen at a hospital. He wanted to make sure my appendix hadn’t ruptured. It was fine but they confirmed kidney stone.

I've always had issues with my kidneys since I was a baby, I was so badly jaundiced I almost had to get dialysis. I've has a few nasty kidney infections, the last one over a year ago where I had to be admitted. They gave me an ultrasound for stones but said nothing was there. I'm concerned I still have an underlying issue though as I'll get stitch like cramps in my sides and back at times, my doctor dismisses me all the time though.

My doc said I have a large stone and he said there is prob nothing to worry about it should I see a specialist.

I have pain when I lay on my right side.my left kidney hurts,or when I breath deep.

Hi Dr I had three stones taken out one was calcium bladder an was an couple years another year after a round one like a marble an two years after gallbladder stone now I having pain on both knees an ankles swelling saw bone specialist he said to put cold compress on both knees for twenty minutes an take any tablet for pain I am 77 years can't walk by myself so I have a daughter live with me we have to pay a taxi to take us anyway like by the Dr as I texting pain on both ankles and swollen

I have a pain and tenderness in my left upper side near rib cage its hurts when im eating may i ask what cause that?

I believe I’ve had a kidney stone in my kidney for five months but I’ve had a lot of pain I was told there’s no pain when the stone is in your kidney is that true or false and or if the pain is from the kidney stone in the kidney why is it not moving after five months or is it that I have more than one or pieces breaking off in Summer staying in the kidney? I’m not sure what’s going on.

Hello, Dr. Frita: I have a 5mm nonobstructing stone in the lower pole of my left kidney. The stone was first noted on CT about 15 months ago in the course of a pretty thorough hematuria workup. At the time, my urologist was skeptical that such a stone could produce the blood that we were seeing. So a cystoscopy was done, which was negative, as well as a mfMRI which revealed a suspicious prostatic lesion which a biopsy revealed to be a small (Gleason 3+4 in one core) tumor, which was Cyberknifed without issue. PSA (which was never very high) is down sharply. My hematuria stopped, until this past June. My question: does a 5mm stone need to be extracted if isolated intermittent hematuria is the only symptom? I feel fine.

Treated with pain Killers, and an ecography which showed a 4mm stone. I was prescribed with a 7 day antibiótics intake and a 3 month intake of a potassium clorate and citric acid solution twice a day.. They will , at the end of the treatment, perform another ecography.
