i have been to hospital three different times in one year for kidney stones is what they thought. never passed a stone last one was to be six centimeters. this time i was admitted for same reason but when they went to do surgery on what they thought was an eight centimeter stone guess what no stones, my kidney was taken over from an infection nothing but blood and puss the doctor stated. now i have a splint in my kidney and only 10 % works. The infection was from Ecoilli from bad meat no telling how long this was in my kidney.Three times before this last i have been to the emergency room for the same undescribeble pain and ech time i was sent home to pass 6 centimeters or larger kidney stones. Now i no that it is impossible to pass a stone that large.this a boils down to no medical insurance now my left kidney barely works.WHATS NEXT WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW? HELP ?

April 2nd. I was in the emergency room with severe pain to only find out I had kidney stones. The large one I passed that day or afterwards little did I know. The doc gave me demeral, vicodin, and flomax and sent me home. The flomax has terrible side effects, I’m debating whether I should even take it anymore! I am still having problems with stomache cramping and gurgling and sometimes my urine is orangeish colored. I am drinking plenty of fluids like gatorade lemon juice and water. When I had my CT Scan, my big stone was no longer stuck in my ureter and had passed it. But the CT scan showed I had 2 other stones that were around 6mm previously which were shrunk down to around 2 or 3mm. I am still awaiting. How will I know if I’ve passed them for sure?

On Wednesday the 7th of January I was tripped at work unleashing a previously unfelt kidney stone in my right kidney. By Saturday night, the 10th the pain increased. By Sunday afternoon I was in the emergency room at our local hospital. Hours later I was transfered by ambulance to a major hospital. The next afternoon I was transfered again to another hospital where I was to spend the next 8 days. The stone finally passed from the kidney into the ureters and bladder early Monday morning about 1:30am in a tearing pain. They are still inside my bladder, although I am finally now home, waiting to pass fully out. By the way, the employee who was not following OS&S has most likely lost his job as my back is also injured. Great! Not! And how much did the 3 ambulance rides? 11 days in a private room in hospital? 3CT scans? 3 x-rays? Nuclear body scan? An IVP kidney/bladder scan? 17 blood tests? Physio? Medication and extras cost???? NOT A THING!!!! I love our health care system.

My husband is in the hospital at this moment (emergency room)
and he was telling me on the phone that he thinks he is passing a stone. Right now he has been in remmision for awhile but Im
worried that its linked to his cancer. He is down to one kidney already and I am freaking out a little.
He has had stones in the past.
