Holy Kidney Stone Batman!!!
 

I had a sharp pain in my side Sunday (started as a dull pain Thursday) Went to the E.R. and found out I have a 6mm x 4mm Kidney stone in my right kidney. So I have been doped up for the past few days and go in Wednesday afternoon for the Lithotripsy procedure. But at least I got a week off work to catch up on C.A.!! Just looking for others input on this procedure to know what to expect.

Sorry to hear this J.T. I have had no issues with kidney stones (knocks on wood), my friend used to get them all the time, he would just piss them out....he had 6 in one year at one time!!

Good luck to ya brother and keep us updated.

Thanks Mickey. They tend to run in my family this is my first but I'm certain won't be my last.

Re: Holy Kidney Stone Batman!!!
 

That sucks bro, I have heard stones are very painful....I can't imagine.

Re: Holy Kidney Stone Batman!!!
 

WOW. Hope it goes well. My bro in law had one. Pee'd it out. He did go to the hospital and they gave him some fluids.

J.T. sorry to hear bro! I had my first (and only, thankfully) bout with kidney stones about a year ago. The pain knocked me on my knees and straight into the ER, where of course I waited for ever! My stone was 4mm and after two weeks of being doped up when needed I was scheduled for surgery the next day to have it lasered out...so I was like what the heck and decided to have a drink...2 jim beams later I peed the darned thing out! LOL should have drank earlier in the process! :r

Best of luck, I hear the surgery is not fun, but at least they put you under and it is all recovery from there! You'll be fine...have a drink tonight, you never know! lol

Re: Holy Kidney Stone Batman!!!
 

Never had one but good luck J.T, sorry to hear!

I've had 3 stones, passed the first two, had to have surgery for the third. Didn't have the lithotripsy though, but from what I understand they blast the stone to break it up and you pass the bits. I had a stint in for a week after my procedure, it was miserable, could feel it every time I moved. Make sure your doc does the analysis on the stone to determine what caused it so you can try to prevent any more in the future.

My wife had one a couple years ago. She was in some serious pain. Went to the ER, had some tests and got some drugs. She peed it out in about a day or so.

Home from the procedure all went well ,feel good or that could just be the drugs :r Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. My wife got me the Star Wars Blu ray set to pass the time until I go back to work. I don't know if she got it for my entertainment or to keep me from driving her crazy :D Thank god for her being with me to help out!
