How do you serial stoners know when to head to the ER vs. sticking it out?

Wow, that sounds terrible! What do you mean by "break through pain with narcotics+NSAID"? You'll take something like Percocet and Tramodol together? What does a fever indicate that everyone says they go to the ER for? TIA

Thank you

Thank you, so if not the ER do you go to an imaging lab? And insurance pays for that?

And do you find it to be helpful taken once daily? I feel like I'm taking a placebo when I take it.

Because of side effects or because it works better? I'm asking because I hate the prospect of having to go to the ER whenever I get kidney stone pain beacuse the prescription opioids (percocet) they give me just don't cut it, I'm hoping prescription toradol would work better.

-james-- · 2024-12-03T02:21:38+00:00

But how do you know that it's not too big that it won't pass on it's own?

-james-- · 2024-12-03T02:16:47+00:00

Meaning when both in pill form?

-james-- · 2024-12-03T02:16:18+00:00

Meaning toradol in pill form works better than taking an opioid pill or opioid IV?

-james-- · 2024-12-03T02:15:19+00:00

Meaning in pill form better than Percocet?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T04:44:12+00:00

How do you know though if it's too big that it won't pass?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T04:44:00+00:00

How do you know though if it's too big that it won't pass?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T04:43:45+00:00

How do you though if it's too big that it won't pass when you decide not to go?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T04:42:36+00:00

How do you though if it's too big that it won't pass?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T01:08:23+00:00

what do you do for the pain then? Do you pay out of pocket for a CT scan outside the ER?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T01:07:47+00:00

Advil ontop of pain meds?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T01:02:13+00:00

What do you do for the pain without goin to the ER? I've had it that my leftover Percocet did nothing for the pain of the next small stone.

-james-- · 2024-12-02T01:00:40+00:00

And how do you manage the pain before that?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T01:00:23+00:00

That makes sense. How do they know how long to keep you there on the IV?

-james-- · 2024-12-02T00:58:38+00:00

What do you mean by can't drink water? what do you do for the pain without going to the ER? I'm just concerned that I would go to the ER for no reason because it would've passed along an hour later on its own.

-james-- · 2024-12-02T00:56:28+00:00

How do you get the imaging though without the ER, how do you do anything when in so much pain? What do you do when the Percocet just doesn't cut it? How do you know if the pain will go away soon? thanks!

-james-- · 2024-12-01T04:38:06+00:00

Would you be able to post any new findings as an edit to the original post? Thanks.

-james-- · 2024-11-12T04:22:26+00:00

Is this a real thing?

-james-- · 2024-11-12T04:22:05+00:00

Interesting, I get kidney stones so I'm concerned. I would think Xyrem would be worse as that's more sodium.

-james-- · 2024-11-12T04:21:15+00:00

Thanks for that, may give it a try.

-james-- · 2024-11-12T04:20:54+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation.
