hi everyone
how bad is it really? i can either have it done or go through the stent removal process again. the stent removal and all that was extremely painful.
any recommendations and/or thoughts?
THanks!
I recently had surgery to laser blast 2 kidney stones and had stents inserted into my uriters. The urologist also said I had a lot of stones higher up in my kidneys he could not get to with the laser. He suggested shockwave treatment. I will find out in a few weeks at my follow up what the plans are. If I do require this method is it painful? and do they put stents in after the shocwave treatment?
Thanks
For the past 3 months I’ve been going to the doctor because of lower back pains, my abdomen hurting, and constantly getting the chills. The first couple of months the doctors couldn’t detect any kidney stones with x-rays and the ultrasounds but there has always been blood in my urine every time they’ve tested me. Now my primary doctor is saying that the urologist I went to put a note saying that I had kidney stones which he didn’t mention to me. So now it’s been 3 months since I’ve been going to the doctors for this. If I have kidney stones I think I would’ve felt it if I passed any but I haven’t so I’m thinking that the kidney stones I might have may have grown in size. I don’t have the best diet and I know I don’t drink nearly half as much water as I should. How can my kidney stones be removed if they’ve grown over the past three months? Do they do it surgically or do they do the shockwave to break it down so that I can pass it? And does it hurt when you pass kidney stones even after they break it down?
yes i went to a doctor, i’ve been going since November. i went to the doctor today and i’m going to the urologist on the 23rd. chill.
I have a calcium kidney stone to be treated and I need to know how long before I can resume regular activity? How long before I can drink alcohol? How long until I can resume normal sexual activity?
And I’m referring to the stones caused by uric acid. I knew that there are differnet kind of stones and some people find some remedy, depending on what kind of kidney stones so I asked. I know there is that shockwave treatment to break up the stones but I was wondering if those two products are known to work. Lemonade has a lot of citrit acid in it, right?
actually yes it can, I just found this out and this does have testimonials.

By the way, I meant lemon juice, not lemonade. Sorry.
