I was just in the hospital emergency last week not once, but twice due to a kidney stone (3mm) that was wedged in my left kidney. Had intense pain for an entire week. The first trip in, they discharged me with Hydrocodone which worked until the pain intensified again and they no longer masked the pain. My second trip to the emergency room they discharged me and prescribed me Oxycodone. Finally passed the thing. The following Monday, the Urologist calls me to let me know I still have 2 in my left kidney and 1 in my right. Said they were 1-2mm in size. They are still in me and I’ve been drinking about 3 liters of water per day.
Wish me luck as the only people I would wish a kidney stone on would be the ISIS DIRTBAGS.
Try cranberry juice.............................
Good luck! I know your pain, I had one six years ago. The pain was so bad I cried and vomited for hours. The hydrocordone in pill form did not help much. The shots though, they were downright fun, killed the pain completely.
Some say you should add lemon juice to that water to help dissolve them.
May I suggest Chanca Piedra- an herb. Means ‘stone breaker’ in Spanish.
Years ago when I use to drive a taxi in New York city I was driving down by the West Village when this guy came running out doubled over wearing only his underwear! and he threw $20 bucks at me and told me to take him to the hospital. He said he had kidney stones, and I never seen a guy act in so much pain in my life, it was just like he got shot in the gut. The whole way there screaming and yelling and I had to help, basically carry him into the emergency room and tell the nurse what was going on as he couldn’t speak. What causes that pain, is it the stones try to pass through the urethra? Damn, they must be hell. That was crazy, one of the many bizarre stories from my taxi days. I actually went through red lights for the guy (carefully) because I figured if a cop pulled me over he would see it was a medical emergency.
I now carry in my toilette bag both kinds of pills in case I have another kidney stone bout while somewhere on the road out of the clutches of an ER.
Oxycodone....... don’t leave home with out it
Did you ask the doctor what kind of stone it is? There are a couple of different kinds. Knowing the kind of stone might help you avoid getting them in the future.
As long as the stones don't get bigger, you should be home free. I had 3 stones in one kidney. The largest was a bit over 3mm and caused me to roll on the floor in pain. ER gave me Flomax and I passed it in a day or so. The other 2 where 2mm stones. I passed one of them a few months later with out much pain. The last stone took about a year to pass and was a bit more painful, but nothing like the first one..
Do a google search on Baking Soda and kidney stones.......
