How Long Would It Take Kidney Stones To Pass?
6 days ago I was having some weird pain in my lower back and side and my urine was really dark.
I went to go see our doctor and they got me to go take a urinalysis, I had some blood in my urine and with the pain they decided I have kidney stones.
I've been in a bit of pain for the last 4 days(nothing that'll interrupt my day), and I've been taking percocets to help it, It feels like whatever is in there is dissolving or whatever(I've been drinking a ton of water) and the pain is starting to go away.
Usually how long would it take to pass? I'm thinking of seeing my doctor tomorrow and asking for a couple more days off.
4 Mm Kidney Stones Won't Pass
I have a kidney stone lodged at the bottom of the right ureter pole near my bladder that won't pass into my bladder. I have been dealing with the pain of this stone moving for several weeks. My urologist say it is small enough to pass (4mm). Meanwhile I'm on pain meds and anti nausea medication. My health insurance kicks in January 1st and if it hasn't passed by the my doctor will remove it. I understand that process is as uncomfortable as the stone's movement. I have esophageal lesions and a gastric ulcer so drinking anything with lemon juice to help the stone pass is unheard of. (I read some people do that). My worst pain is in my back at the area my doctor calls the right flank; and also lower. I am also having pain in the front of my left side but I'm not sure if that's related. Has anyone had to deal with waiting for a stone to pass for this length of time. I'm miserable.

I'm a 17 year old male and about 3-4 months ago I had a lot of pain in my lower back. My fathers side of the family has a long history of kidney stones ( he just had a 14mm stone that had to be broken up). Anyways the doctors said that I have a kidney stone in my left kidney that is less than 1mm. That's not the side that bothers me, they also found a 2mm stone in my right kidney. They say this isn't causing the pain but yet I'm at a constant 7/10 on the pain scale off meds. On the meds it reduces to a 4/10 and the severe pain episodes are less frequent. I've been on and off the meds now for the last couple months but I dislike laying around like a vegetable... My pain episodes start with severe sweating and slightly higher pain levels. Then it moves on to excruciating pain that causes screaming or tearing up. Then I feel the need to use the restroom and the pain will then max out at a 10/10 on several occasions this pain has been so severe that it has caused vomiting to the point of dry heaves. I am considering having my parents take me to the hospital and demand that I have the stone removed upon my next episode of severe pain. I've never felt the testicular discomfort and I have been keeping up with about a gallon of water a day but my urine is still yellow and smes awful.. Does anyone have a recommendation on my next course of action? I'm ready to get this over with. I've had to cancel several meetings with my army recruiter due to severe pain that has prevented me from driving or the use of narcotics ( Tylenol codeine #3, percocet, endocet,hydrocodone) and alternative pain medications and antiinflammatories (Tramadol, mobic). I feel like my life is on hold.
View 4 RepliesCan Kidney Stones Pass Without Your Knowing?
In June of 2011 I went to the Doctor for upper right back pain. I had an x-ray done and it showed a 1 cm stone in the right kidney. Last year in August I went to the ER for some stomach pain not related to kidney stones but a 3 cm stone showed in the right kidney....I was having a lot of upper back pain a few months ago and the DR figured it was a kidney stone because I had blood in my urine...the X Ray showed no stone. I was surprised because 5 years ago I had a 4 cm stone get stuck and was in the hospital for a few days until they retrieved it. I have had no major pain other than what I had here recently since that ct. Is it possible for it to have passed with no discomfort?

I have been having pain since December 14, 2015 I thought it was the normal menstrual cramps but menstrual is over and still have pain went to the doctors today they are pretty positive I have a kidney stone I'm drinking lots of lemon water some cranberry juice trying to flush it out. I have a female friend who told me that every time she's had a kidney stone the pain got less and less right before it passed, and that the passing of the stone wasn't that bad. I just wanted to know if there is any other females who had this experience or was it painful actually passing the stone I know how painful it is in the process of waiting for it to come out I've been dealing with that for 6 days just nervous for it to actually pass.

View 8 RepliesKidney Stones And Parathyroid - Stent - How Long?
I was diagnosed with kidney stones and parathyroid disease in March 2010 whilst being in hospital as a result of high calcium levels (3.7 mmol/L) and significant pains in the back. A stent was inserted in order to help the kidneys and I went through a number of tests (Mibi scan, ultrasound, DEXA among others) for identifying the gland(s) that were overproducing the hormone for calcium (201 serum PHT). While I was told that the stent should not remain longer than two months and that I should have the stones removed as soon as possible, I have not been scheduled yet for the removal (ureteroscope). During the last month, the stent has become very uncomfortable, I cannot walk for more than 10 minutes and I feel very tired. I went to the A&E but I was offered only muscle relaxants and painkillers and I have not seen any improvement as a result of these. Simultaneously, I am waiting for the arrangement of the removal of the parathyroid gland.
Is there anyone with similar experience? Is it normal to have that long the stent and have these symptoms? And is there anyone that has gone through a removal of parathyroid glands? Any information would be most helpful.
How Long Can Bleeding Last After A Kidney Stones Passed?
I am not 100% sure I'm dealing with kidney stones but I'm almost positive. I've had random bouts of bloody urine the past couple months. I had a ct scan Friday and am waiting on results.
My most recent bleeding has lasted about 2 weeks. This is what prompted my visit to the urologist. It started during my menstrual cycle and never let up. It would go from gross to microscopic and back again. I've dealt with minor aches and pains in both my back and pelvic area, similar to menstrual cramps. Nothing major. Last Tuesday I was stopped with sharp pains from my back to abdomen and towards my hip area. It wasn't excruciating but not very comfortable by Any means either. That lasted about an hour and a half, in waves.
Friday was my ct scan with contrast. Friday night the urge to urinate was insane. I had to sit with my legs crossed to even be slightly comfortable. Saturday I woke up with dull pain in my back which was relieved after I urinated. Some minor aches saturday and by Sunday was feeling completely normal. No blood visibly or microscopicly.
This morning my first Urine was a little brown. Ever since it's been clear. I'm drinking a ton of water, which I was never in the habit of ever doing.
How long can bleeding last after a stone is passed?
Stones run in my family from my father, brother, my fathers siblings and my cousins. Also at my physical last year my blood showed a little elevation in calcium levels which I know can lead to stones.
Has anyone had a similar experience with bleeding??
Kidney Disease :: Prep For Lithotripsy (Kidney Stones) - Magnesium Citrate
Is it me or is this stuff a waste of time?
I've had obout 20 lithotripsy's in 15 years of having continuous stones. They've never gotten my kidney completely empty of stones ever. I've had lithos, ureterscopy, PCNL. On meds but they can't seem to stop them from growing. I avoid alot of the things that cause stones or limit them. Got to have the 1 cup of coffee in the morning
On the day before litho, your suppose to eat light ( nothing that leaves residue in bowl) but they say you can have white bread or boiled chicken. (Why bother?) I usually only eat jello, gatorade, and just broth. Plus tons of water. The instructions say to drink the magnesium of citrate after dinner. Well to me dinner is after 6/7. But I thought this time I would take earlier since last time didn't start to move the bowels until i was in the hospital. Plus this stuff is awful- taste bad- even refrigeration like they suggest doesn't really help. Twice in past I threw it up.
So I took at 5 pm thinking it would work earlier. Nope. Nothing. Just stomach cramping and it finally started around 5 am after me getting up every hour during night. Still was working again while in hospital.
There has to be something better (tasting) and work faster. Plus less side effects. Or they should change instructions & say take a noon. Next litho (in 2-3 months) I'm taking a 1/2 day off day before and taking at noon. Maybe then can get a little sleep the night before procedure.
Sorry- felt like ranting as frustrated as its been two full days since litho and nothing passing yet. Plus I have a bad back (2 surgeries) which makes it hard to do the exercises where you drink 2 cups water, wait 30 minutes, then elevate kidney @ 45 degrees and stay like that for 30 minutes to try and get the pieces to move.
Kidney Stones :: Staghorn - Filled My Right Kidney
Thursday morning I spent the night in the ER with a kidney stone in the left kidney -- when they did a CT Scan - they came and told me that they made an "incidental finding" in the right kidney that is a problem -- they have discovered that I have a "Staghorn" kidney stone that has attached itself and almost completely filled the right kidney. He said that I will not pass it and now my GP has made me an appt. with a Nurse Practitioner at the urologist's office for Tuesday morning to discuss my options. What are my options going to be?

A while ago I had kidney stones, I was sent for a scan after, upon returning to my GP for the results of my test, he told me there were calcium deposits in my kidney that could mean I have another on the way, I've been trying to keep well hydrated and doing all I can to prevent a recurrence, because they're damn right evil, I've got away with it for quite a while now, last night I was woke up with the same pain I had when I had kidney stones, I sat on the toilet and waited for the pain so subside, it seems to have gone again for now, I was just wondering if I'm supposed to avoid eating foods rich in calcium, I'm also lactose intolerant and with all this I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to en up deficient in calcium.

I have had kidney stones for about 20 years and have had a number of treatments. My right kidney now works at 21% due to scarring and infections. My left is fine, working at 98% with one stone. I do not suffer many symptoms but do get an infection 1-2 times a year (I am experiencing my normal infection pain at the moment). My consultant has discussed removing my right kidney, obviously I have my concerns - will my other kidney be strong enough as I am susceptible to stones etc.
View 1 RepliesPregnancy :: Possible Kidney Stones?
I'm a 29 year old female 36 weeks pregnant. Back in January I had a large amount of blood in my urine and some flank pain ( nothing like what most describe with stones) happened again two weeks later so my OB requested a urology work up. I had a full ultrasound which showed mild fluid in my right kidney which is normal in pregnancy. Then sent me off to a urologist for a cystoscopy and two cytologies to look for bladder tumors and Cancer cells. All which were negative. Fast forward to April and again some flank pain with blood in my urine. Urologist wants a CT scan but can't due to pregnancy. So it became a waiting game. May comes along and im having blood every few days with a little more Intense pain lower along my hip and into my pelvis. No back or 'flank' pain per say but now I am urinating large clots and tissue and blood. Went to the hospital they pumped me full of fluids did an ultrasound and saw absolutely nothing and said probably a kidney stone we'll look closer after you have the baby.... Does any of this sound like a kidney stone? They feel it would be a small one since it can't be seen on ultrasound and I am not in excruciating pain. But I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a 'small' stone causing so much trouble, blood and clots and taking MONTHS to pass... Any thoughts?
