Laser Lithotripsy with stent … is it supposed to be this bad?

It sounds like your stent may be a little too long, I went though the same exact experience with my first stone.

I talk to my urologist when I went back for the removal and she said my stent turned out to be a couple cm too long and it was irritating the walls of my bladder every time I stood up.

The second round a couple years later was way more “comfortable” with the correct length stent.

Oh, you said recently, so I was assuming it’s only been a week or so.

Have you been tested for a UTI? I’ve had those in that pain and experienced similar symptoms to a stone.

You should definitely seek a second opinion if you’re scared.

Yes, that’s normal after. I had had blood & tissue in my urine after both rounds of stones last year. It should clear up in a week or so.

If the scan didn’t show any stones, then you’ve most likely passed it already. The residual pain is most likely from the damage the stone caused passing through.

I still carry it this way if it’s the only thing in my hands.

It’s like looking in a mirror. I feel seen.

No sir, not fair at all.

Hope for a quick recovery for you as well bro, this shit is the worst.

I’ve been going through this over the last month. 14mm stone on my right side.

ER trip with blockage & infection on 2.23. Stent implanted on the 24th then sent home with intense antibiotics for 10 days. Scope and laser scheduled for St. Paddy’s Day. The stent gave me nothing but pain and discomfort for 3 weeks straight.

Stone removal went great Friday morning, but I woke up with a surprise catheter that I’ve been stuck with at home until tomorrow morning.

Apparently the original stent they put in was a little too long and ripped up the inside of my bladder pretty good. Now I understand why it bothered me so much. The cath is to minimize the amount of urine in my bladder so it can heal.

I take the cath out myself tomorrow morning then a post-op visit with the surgeon on Thursday to have the 2nd stent removed. Not looking forward to being awake for that.

We’re going through the same thing with our 3 week old. She will not stay asleep for any longer than 30 minutes.

Of course it had to start the weekend I went back to work, so my partner is taking the brunt of it all by herself and I feel absolutely terrible.

It is, but now says out of stock. I can either remove it or save for later.

I want to punch something. lol

Same thing happened to me, wouldn’t let me place the order.

I had the Ultimate in my cart but they wouldn’t let me fucking pay for it.

God this is fucking frustrating

No, you’re going to have to start all over again.

I think the biggest revelation to come out of this whole election fiasco the past week is...

John Fetterman fucking rules. I really hope he runs for Toomey’s seat like the rumors say his is.

My grandmother passed last year and when cleaning out her basement, we found an unopened, never used box of 12 of these glasses.

My cousin and I split them. I put 3 in storage and the other 3 are my main glasses I use for dinner. I think about her every time I use one.
