Well my husband has a kidney stone. 3 wks ago I took him to the ER for his pain.
He saw the doctors of course/got the pain meds.
He says it has not passed yet, and he’s not felt anything UNTIL this morning. {yesterday he took a couple of those cranberry supplements} and very early at 5am, he experienced a lot of pain and we wondered if the cranberry capsules ‘possibly’ loosened up his stone again?
pls advise ty

Ended up in the ER early Monday morning (today is Wednesday) with a small (2-3mm) kidney stone in my ereter. Doc prescribed some pain meds and said to drink a lot of fluids and that it should pass on it’s own within a week. I’ve been drinking water non-stop. Went to the urologist this morning and they took another x-ray but could not see the stone on the x-ray. urologist said that this was either due to the small size of it or because some stones don’t show up on x-rays but do on CT scans (taken at the ER). still have a "moderate" amount of blood in my urine, although it’s pretty clear with all the water I’m drinking. So my question is: When will I pass this stone??? if you have first-hand knowledge with small stones like this, please let me know. I would appreciate it.

My 23 yr. old daughter has a kidney stone and has had it for 4 days now. Trying to pass on her own. Does have pain meds to make it somewhat tolerable.
She has been to the doctor and in response to the beer answer. She has a couple everyday! So…not so sure about that!
