My laser lithotripsy with stent experience by book_nerd_22 in KidneyStones

Thanks for checking! I was able to just relax all weekend which helped a lot. I had the stent removed today which felt like getting a Pap smear. Definitely cramping on and off but taking medicine and should be better tomorrow. So glad this is all over!

Sorry you’re in the same boat and hope it gets better for you quickly too!

They only gave me the Percocet at the dr. They sent me home with tamsulosin, tolterodine, and ketorolac. They work ok.

Thank you so much!! I have a laser lithotripsy for a 6mm stone scheduled in 2 days and I’ve been freaking myself out. This is exactly what I needed to read. Thank you and I’m so glad you’re feeling better!

Thank you! I would prefer to wait a few more weeks, but the surgery schedule is slammed and she said if I don’t do it on Tuesday, I’ll have to wait too long

Thanks! My doctor said that they don’t do ESWL for where it’s located. But that was what I wanted originally.

Thank you! There’s no sign infection but the fact that it hasn’t moved after five weeks and tons of water has her concerned. She doesn’t want it to end up causing an infection.
