my husband went in several months ago to the ER (he was in extreme pain)for a colon issue and got a cat scan. They found no problems with his digestive system or anything in the cat scan..they told him he should see a gastroenterologist . So he did a few mths later (after insurance had kicked in) and the results oft the cat scan were faxed to the gastroenterologist(sp?) and they told my husband that the cat scan showed that he had kidney stones…
The hospital said NOTHING about kidney stones!! Isn’t it there job to tell him if something was wrong!?!
Someone said that because thats not what he went in for that they didnt HAVE to tell him about it…
The gastroenterologist said the kidney stones shouldn’t get any worse if my hubby changes his diet. so they aren’t an immediate threat. But he could have been working on fixing it MONTHS ago!!
Am I wrong…but I think they should have told him!! Can I get the in trouble for that!?! lol

I am 19 years old, for roughly the past year I have been having a lot of pain in the lower department and so 4 nights back I went to the hospital and they had told me it was a kidney stone and that I should be passing it within the next couple of days. They had prescribed me some pain meds, but luckily for me, my medical insurance ran out, so I wasn’t able to get them. Even more lucky for me, I have no types of pain pills at home, and payday isn’t for awhile. Trying to make it through this extreme amount of pain, but I don’t know how much more I can take. So my main question is, does anyone happen to know of some home remedies that helped them pass their stones? I have been going crazy on drinking water, Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated, and thanks in advance.
I appreciate every answer given so far, their helpful, but I promised to myself Id never drink lol, but thanks in advance

Sorry I posted this in another area, but I think I should try a different area.
Hello,
I am wondering if there is anything I can do to prevent/help with my kidney stones. I have one that the Dr. said won’t pass and I’m trying to avoid it coming to that point as he said he has no idea when this one will pass. Is there anything I can do to prevent it passing? I really want to avoid the laser surgery, it seems like it would be painful lol :/ Also does cranberry juice really help? Any ideas?

My step father has a 2mm kidney stone, he says it feels like it is stuck in his abdomen, how long will it take for it to pass?
Lol. Yeah, I believe I do. He is drinking water and taking Vicodin.
