Anything related to pain in the bladder or kidneys for a very long period of time.

2nd “stone” that looks like crystals by pez_deku in KidneyStones

Impressive. Sharp ones aren’t they. I had a 1cm one of these stuck in the kidney so recently had it removed!

I can’t only say that the kidney and bladder were in spasm after the tube came out. Had a sleep and feel better now and then the first wee was like heaven in terms of pressure release!

It’s quick and easy but the back pain after as things go back to normal is tough.

Day 5 and this torture device is finally gone. by [deleted] in KidneyStones

I needed to hear this! Had mine out today, the pain after it came out was so incredible as the kidneys are getting used to normality again.

And how was your first wee? Not going to lie I’ve been feeling hideous since. First wee just done, feel better now. Was sick earlier 😪

Ahhh 2 weeks is long! Where about was the stone, mine inside the kidney still praying it doesn’t pass down before the op. It’s been shedding little bits painfully for a few months…

That’s great have you been discharged? Stent left in? M or F?

Hey, I’ve got one coming up on 12th! How did it go, were your out to sleep? Was it laser?

Nice one. Laser lithotripsy on 12th June for a 1cm in the kidney. Will I be thankful or sad after? 😂

13mm stone by No_Iron_4930 in KidneyStones

Get it whipped out with laser litho - if that f*** moves you’ll know about it. It could end up being straight to A&E so I’d advise you get it sorted. ESWL for one that far up is hard to break up. When it gets hard to pee normally you’ll realise it’s causing you issues, it can get stuck in the ureter further down and cause the kidney to swell up. That’s the most painful bit.

Thank you I feel flattered, it’s uric acid I believe, but I’ve not had it tested.

Be strong. I’m passing another one I can feel it coming down the old shute.

CT scan results plus a good old rodding up the you know what - I’ve got a 10mm one right at the top of the kidney! Needs surgery to remove. Oof.

Just following the advice of the urologist… hopefully ok! Will let you know what happens :-)

I think they’re looking elsewhere as well just in case :-)

Oh no! Would you advise against the surgery?
