Kidney Stones

Re: Kidney Stones

Guess it's time I get this thread going again, I got 3 stones in my left and 2 in my right kidneys. The pain is pretty severe right now on my left side so no doubt one is moving. I passed a tiny one Saturday. I have to go to the Dr next Tuesday so I might be having another surgery soon. I think the Dr should just give me an unlimited rx of Loratab since I have so many of them. That would save me from calling him every 3 - 4 weeks and him writing one each time lol. Any way hurting pretty bad right now guys, later.

Careful with Lortab (which is Vicodin(hydrocodone)/Tylenol(acetaminophen)). They can't write prescriptions for more than a month at a time because it's a narcotic. Easy to become dependent on it. Also, acetaminophen is incredibly bad for your liver when taken for an extended period of time.

Yeah I know I was just talking through the pain last night, you know when your hurting bad you'll say or do anything. But I try to stay away from all that as much as possible. Thanks for the warning though.

Yeah, sometimes people don't pay attention to that kind of stuff, just throwing it out there.

Hope you can effectively manage the pain while getting this taken care of.

After over 30 surgeries for them I've learned to adapt and get use to it, or not really get use to it just find ways to manage myself to distract the pain.

ouch ouch ouch. I have seen my Father cry twice in my life, Kidney stones made him cry( Scott Norwood was the other). I am just so thankful that I have not had to go through what he had too.

Re: Kidney Stones

Just a quick update. Went to the doctor yesterday for another checkup, I now have 5 stones in my left kidney alone. Surgery is scheduled for the 20th of this month. I've done pretty much lost count on how many surgeries I've had for them I'm over 30 I know. If any of you are into praying do me a favor and when you hit your knees tonight throw one up there for me. I am really tired of these things.

Re: Kidney Stones

Surgery was moved up from the 20th to Monday morning. I'll be glad to get those things out of me.

Hang in there. I have had them twice and thank goodness for morphine. Luckily mine passed pretty quick.

Keep us updated.

Re: Kidney Stones

I had them about 2 weeks before I left for basic. I thought I was dying. Lol I blamed the muscle milk that I had earlier that night. But I know it takes a while to build up.

Re: Kidney Stones

Just a bump, guess who has what again. I had surgery for them last month, but they back.
