Early Friday morning my wife was in severe pain on her left side. Went to the walk-in clinic and they said she needed to go to the Emergency Room. We did. As soon as the Doc seen her he said, he believed the cause is a kidney stone. Took X-Ray and sure nuff it was 1 stone about 2mm in size. They gave her an IV, a pain shot, and a few other shots. We were there for about 3.5 hours. When discharged they gave her a script for 4 prescriptions. The Doc told her the stone was about to pass. He said she will most likely feel pain when she does pass the stone and that is normal. They gave her a pee trap with a screen filter so she could see the stone once passed. It's now Sunday, 2 days later, and still has not passed the stone.
She isn't experiencing any pain. In fact, she's feeling pretty good. Maybe not 100%, but is doing well. She's drinking lots of water and one of the meds prescribed is to make her pee more often. And she is peeing more often than usual.
Can anyone here speculate if we should be concerned about not passing the kidney stone by now?
I checked into that baking soda remedy and read its not good for people with high blood pressure. My blood pressure was sort of borderline last time I went for a checkup, so I’m going to pass on it. But thanks for the info. I’m taking supplements and if I can get it Back to normal, I might try it because there’s lots of recommendations for using it.
