This morning I got up and noticed a real bad pain in the (L) of my back, radiating all the way around to the front of my stomach and down into my growing. I'm feeling nasueated, and difficulty going to the bathroom. I'm pretty sure it a kidney from what I remeber from a few years back when I had one. The Doc can't see me until Wed. I've been drining lots of water and vicodin. Does anybody have any suggestions??? The vicodin is starting to wear off and the pain is coming back. This is freak'n killing me! Thanks

I feel for ya there bud. I've had about 40 of them and the last one was a doozey. I had to have Lithotripsy to get it blasted it was so big. The doc had to put a stint in to push it back up into the kidney until I could get scheduled for the Litho. The stint stopped the pain and don't ask how how he gets it in there.
They had me on moprphine and Perkosets. Both of those are nasty and did no good at all to kill the pain. I drink Cranberry juice every day of the week.

 

Get a better doctor. When I called in mine, the doctor made time and saw me within two hours.

Actually, my doctor was not there, but they set me up with another doctor. I just about fell off the chair when I saw her. Slim, 29ish, blond, um what pain.

 

Go to the emegency room, I have been "floored" with them 4 times , went thru the emergency room for immediate attention

 

Around here, the only emegency in the emergency room is if you're bleeding so bad it's making a mess that someone will have to clean up. You're pain and discomfort means nothing to them.....

 

Have had 3 myself. First one, didn't know what the heck was happening. Went to the E-room and they gave me an IV and I felt pretty good
They kept me for 3 days in the hospital
Second one I went to the E-room too, once again, the magic drip was the solution

Go to the Er. Kidney stones are horribly painful. If that doctor ever had them ,he would be helpng you out.

 

At this time thats not an option. I'm at the mercy of the VA right now. I can't get health insurance because of 2 pre-existing health conditions. I have to wait until Aug to get back on with my work insurance when there open enrollment roles around.

 

Man I am glad I have never had these things. I have seen my ol' man cry three times in my life. When his Folks passed, when he fell flat on his back off of a hay conveor, and when he had stones. Seems they can bring big strong men to there knees.

 

Go to the emergency room!! I've had them also and could have destroyed a kidney had I not gone!!

I had a stint and lasered the stone excruciating for 5 days or so.

This is not something to play with as it can damage your kidney forever!!!

Get it checked out post haste!!

You have a private message.

 

Kidney Stones: One of the things I can live without experiencing.

So BE A MAN, and then pay a bunch of money to medical companies so I don't have to go through those things when I get older.

 

You got a PM.

 

Call an ambulance and have them take you to the hospital. They will admit you right then, and put you on morphine. Been there done that. You need to get it taken care of right now!
