Kidney Stones

[pyrobow]

About how long does it take to pass one? I am pretty sure that my wife is dealing withe one right now.

[Epack]

so many factors, size, location, shape etc... what are her symptoms?

[pyrobow]

Extreme Abdomin pain. Last night she thought Bladder infection but not so sure now. The pain is fairly constant but can be brutal at times. Changing positions has not helped. Pain meds have done a little.

I feel for her, I've had them last from 4 hours to 4 days. Just depends, If it's really bad take to the ER. if the stone is too big she may not be able to pass it with having it broken up. Otherwise, lots of water and time.

Drink lots of water. The fluid will help push the stone thru the ureter and into the bladder. She will be in pain until it drops into her bladder, then instant relief. Had one five years ago and it was as bad a my gall stone attacks.

go to the urologist and get an xray to be sure

it could be appendicitis and that's nothing to play around with

My wife had one and that is the worst pain I have ever seen her in. Kidney stones made child birth look easy. I took her to the ER and she just happened to pass it when she was trying to give a urine sample. I'd take her in, better safe than sorry. I feel for her...

CB makes a great point.

[pyrobow]

no appendicist or gall bladder

Corn silk tea will help dissolve them

When I had my kidney stones, it only hurt at my lower back(left side), and boy did it hurt....are you sure its kidney stone..., my doc told me to stay away from tea & coffee.

my dad just had one and it took a week to pass...didnt sound like any fun at all!

[Todd-ty729]

Last stone I dealt with took about 30+ years to pass. Or so it seemed.

[pyrobow]

not 100 per cent sure. We could be headed to the hospital before long. The pain is BAAAD of Course no insurance.
