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.
Well the signs I have had and do have are sometimes I can hardly walk or sit, hurts with pressure. Shoots pain up towards my naval. That plus the occasional buildup/blood excreated from my bowels. I am going to the bathroom way more often than I used too, probably 4+ times a day. Bowel Movements are not solid. I have slight gas, but nothing more than I usually do.
I have had a colonoscopy recently, and the only issues found were small hemroids (not in the area of the pain).
On a related note I have two kidney stones in my right kidney, but i have passed them before, and this pain is in a completely different area.
I had previously changed by diet to try and see if it was just the things I was eating. The pain is still there.
I have had this sort of discomfort/pain for about 2 months now. It didnt used to be this bad, but has gotten to this point within the last couple of days.
I have a doctors appointment in 4 days. Should I go to the emergency room before hand? I really dont know what to do.
For the past at least 4 months. I have been having stomach probelms coming and going in waves. I saw the doctor last night and he thought it was either my gullbladder or a problem with a valve in my stomach which I have had when I was young but was cured with zantac 75.
My symptoms are a super gassy stomach. Always bubbling and gurgling all over in my abdomen with cramping feeling. Gets worse after eating and problems with Diarrhea.
Well to start off my wonderful day today I was on my way to work and got the worst pain in my abdomen I have ever felt. It hurt so bad to even breath. So to the emergency room it was. After sitting in the doctors office and taking blood tests that showed little results everything seemed normal. My urine tests showed a little bit of blood but nothing outragous. They set me up on emergency for a Upper GI and a Ultrasound. Well Ultrasound came first and after the ultrasound they said I was not going to be getting the upper GI anymore. This confused me cause I was sure I was having a gullbladder problem and how would they know whats wrong with my gullbladder without the upper GI?… anyways afer the ultrasound I saw the doc again and he says I have kidney stones (wtf.. news to me). They gave me two shots in the Ass of Demerol and gave me vicodin for pain and Flowex or something like that for the stones. Turns out I have at least 3-4 stones in my kidneys but before I could ask any more questions my doctor was out the door. I guess my real question is.. is it heard of to have a really gassy intestinal area or abdomen with especially diarrhea from kidney stones!?!?!
(I feel super zoned out right now, Demerol is good stuff )
