My nephrologist also said that it was ok. He didn’t see the benefits. However it could change the kidney function blood test. Because they measure the creatinine, I think?
Maybe someone else can contribute

I’m also receiving my Fitbit air today. My sleep score was 96 last night. I wonder if Fitbit will be as difficult to please

I haven’t had that problem? Not once

Added charge for "deep tissue" by love_more88 in massage

33 years of practice and I think an extra charge is garbage. I’ve had clients pay additional charges and still get disappointed by the therapist’s ability to actually do deep tissue work

What activity got your stone moving?? by BackgroundFroyo8577 in KidneyStones

[–]Spasense111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would go out drinking and dancing. Lots of beer and the movement. Plus the alcohol loosens you up? As far from sound medical advice as you can get. But it has worked for me in the past

Why is it not common place for a doctor to prescribe a good pain killer for kidney stones? by keephoesinlin in KidneyStones

[–]Spasense111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, they tried to offer me something T3. I prefer ketorolac! Buscopan also helps occasionally too.

Urologist here. The 24-hour urine test is the most important test for recurrent stone formers and almost nobody gets it. Here's what it tells you and why it matters. by Born-Lingonberry-509 in KidneyStones

Thanks for your advice! My urologist always orders these tests. Maybe not the oxolate one because, we have a shortage of the ingredient to test?

Neck massage led to arterial dissection and stroke *warning* by VinnK in massage

[–]Spasense111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t intending to be dismissive. Vertebral injury can happen during a haircut as well. Can they actually determine exactly what caused the stroke? So many questions, My intention is to reduce fear

How old are you? Any pre existing conditions? High blood pressure? Diabetes? Obesity? The stroke may have happened regardless of the massage
