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 ?

Last August I had a kidney stone, and i was 16. I have always had to pee multiple times a day and throughout the night. The past week i have been having bad stomach pains and today i woke up and was vomiting and having diarrhea. Then i had to pee quite often and the past three times have been completely clear. No sign of any color at all. And i have not even drank a whole bottle of water today.

My signs say that it could be diabetes insipidus? Im only 18. Is that possible?

Is it possible to pass a kidney stone without excruciating pain? Like if the stone is small? or does it always hurt really bad?
I’ve had kidney stones 3 times in the past 3 years and every time its been the worst pain ever.
But right now i have a pain in my side that’s not unbearable, i feel nauseous, and im really hot but my skin is cold. And i just got a random pain out of no where that feels like a bladder infection. These are all the symptoms i get when i have kidney stones except the pain is usually 100 times worse.

All three times the pain has woken me up and then started real bad. So is it possible that its just the beginning of one and the pain is going to get worse? I don’t know how it feels before you pass a stone because im always sleeping. Or is it just a really small one?

Sorry this is confusing and not worded good. Im in too much pain to concentrate. =/
its near the back on my right side. exactly where my other stones have hurt. Last time my doctor gave me a prescription for vicodin incase i got one. Someone stole it from me tho. I only have one left. =[

I am a 19 year old female, and my problems started with a kidney stone at 17. Since then, I’ve had 3 kidney stones, diagnosed with renal colic since I have flank pain about twice to three times a week. In addition, I switched my birth control from Yasmin to Yas, and this has led to an increase in hematuria, or at least visible blood in my urine. I also have a history of IBS and high cholestrol. My diet is not great, and I produce about 1 liter of urine per day. I have been to several gastrointestinal drs, nephrologists, urologists, OBGYNs, etc, and have ran several scans and tests but they cannot put their finger on it. I have constant pain in the flank and stomach, and the constant bleeding really worries me. Please, if anyone has any idea what could possibly be wrong with me please help! Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions? I am lying in bed trying not to hurt someone from the pain. This has already happened three times this week, but now the pain has intensified. I have a family history of kidney stones, but have never had them myself.
