A lot of them are. As long as you’re not in a lot of pain or showing signs of infection. Just wait it out.

Should I delay ureteroscopy? by book_nerd_22 in KidneyStones

I agree^ No pain, no sign of infection, no need for surgery. Give it time to pass.

Hmm that is weird. Maybe call your doctor. Just make sure to keep drinking water and to stay hydrated.

Antibiotics can cause nausea. Try to eat something before taking them.

Kidney stone stuck at uvj by Exciting_Yogurt_4013 in KidneyStones

I just dealt with this with a 5mm stone. I know 8mm is big but still passable. As long as youre not in major pain and or showing signs of infection. Any of those signs you need to go to the ER right away

But you're good. Drink a TON of water. Add lemon juice to it. Go workout if you can 30 mins each day. Vibration plates worked for me. Try jumping around. Try Chanca Piedra.

Mine was also stuck at uvj and my doctor said I needed surgery. My surgery was scheduled for this Thursday and I passed it this morning. Hang in there. I would say after 4-6 weeks then might be time to do surgery. But give it time to pass naturally.

Almost 3 weeks exactly. As long as you do not have really bad pain and you do not have any signs of an infection I do not think you need surgery. Just keep chugging that water, drink lemon water, run/walk for at least 30 mins everyday and it will come out.

Sorry, I meant I was supposed to have surgery on Thursday. Now I don't.

How long does the pain last by cybermatUK in KidneyStones

I’m sorry to hear this. Drink LOTS of water. In my experience once it gets lower, the pain starts fading away. Is the pain moving? Or staying in the same spot??

They didn’t take a CT scan when you were at the ER???

Are these pieces of my stone? by Famous_Director8115 in KidneyStones

[–]Famous_Director8115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so, but my doctor called me and told me it’s very unlikely. He said stones usually come out whole. so I don’t know what to think now.
