I was at the ER again yesterday

September 14, 2017 12:39am CST
Another kidney stone, I suffered for two day until I couldn't take it no more and decided a trip to the ER was necessary. I probably was there about four hours, they gave me medicine and assured me it would pass when I got home. It did, but just didn't feel right all night, I hope I don't get another any time soon.

Kidney stones are so painful, I know, because I had the problem a couple of times.

I get them all the time, I think the last one was in January, which is good for me, because the year before I had them a lot more times.

@LadyDuck I don't think they think it is.. I wonder myself, sometimes, because medical care just isn't what it used to be.

I am sorry to hear that. I heard that the kidney stone is quite painful. Is it a treatment to solve this problem? Taking the medicine sounds to work temperately only. Sometimes I heard people say going to try something like roller roaster and drink plenty of water. If it is lucky, the kidney stone will be out.

@CookieMonster46 Do you have breakfast everyday? I heard that if you avoid the breakfast, it is easy to have kidney stone. My colleague's brother had his kidney stone blast in the past. It seems that it doesn't get back any more. So I think it is worth to get rid of the kidney stone by this method. At least it is better than a surgery.

Yes, they can send you to a Urologist, to blast them, or put a stent, They can always come back.I have heard too about riding a roller coaster , but you are too sick to do that with . Yes I do drink water all the time, but still get them.

I am sorry that you had to deal with this. I remember my daughter-in-law having kidney stones when she was pregnant. It wasn't pretty. Try to get some rest and let;s pray that you have no more of them.

@CookieMonster46 That's how I was with the first one. It was winter and I was sweating like a pig - pain, cramps, vomiting and lots of bleeding.
