My back would really hurt off and on sometimes before I found out I had stones. What finally prompted me to go the to the dr was when my husband and I were jogging and my back started hurting so bad. I could barely walk back home and I thought I was going to get sick as my mouth started watering heavily. That night I was in so much pain so I went to the dr. the next day. After a CT scan I found out I have 3 larger stones in my left kidney and 2 smaller ones in my right kidney. There is one on my right side that my urologist said is high up and seems to be stuck in the lining. So I just keep going on and they just watch it to see if it moves lower but it never does. Anyway, my lower back hurts really bad almost all of the time. I am trying to keep up my activity level but I feel tired and just want to cry from he pain. My dr. prescribed me Flomax and pain reliever. Every time I go in he asks me about the pain and I tell him how badly my lower back hurts and where and now he is telling me that pain is not from my kidney stones but from some other issue. He says kidney stones only cause pain in the middle of the back. I just know my back really hurts and it is making it hard for me to function. I have read every little trick it seems. Drink apple juice, drink water, blah blah but apparently they aren’t dissolving. Maybe I should see a chiropracter? Or should I just find another urologist?
