HUNTINGMAN Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I went to bed this morning feeling fine , I woke up three hours later with a bad pain in my lower gut. After a trip to the er, here I lay in the hospitle with kidny stones. They have me on a morphine pump and may have to have a stint put in tomarrow. This stinks because muzzle loader season start this weakend, hope I get better before it starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Man that's not good. Hope you get better. What's the stint for?? I think it's to enlarge the canal for easier passage or they do it when the stone is too big to pass so they can scoop it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doe-ee Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Ouch. I hope they pass as painlessly as possible. I hear that once they're out it's a fairly quick recovery, so don't cancel that hunting this weekend. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Ouch...heard those are painful. Make sure even afterwards when you are all healed up to drink plenty of water/liquids...not caffeine/tea/alcohol...want to keep things flowing well as you'll be just as prone to getting them again. Keep us posted and take it easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Oh man are you in for a ride. I had them 2x and I still remember the pain. The stent is not too bad because most likely you will be out cold and under while they do it. If they think you can pass the stones alone, they will leave you alone to pass them in your urine and you'll have to go thru a strainer to catch the stones if you pass any to save them for analysis. If they think the stones are too big to pass then comes lithiotripsy. They locate the stones, give them an address, program that address in the machine. You lay in the machine and it pounds your kidneys and the stones with ultra sound to break them up so you can pass sand instead of sharp rocks. That treatment works, but you leave there feeling you have been beat up and kidney punched. Oh yeah when they want to take the stent out, some Dr's like to do it in the office. Grab the end and pull.YIKES! I made them put me back under for that. That same day they took it out...that night I had another attack! But I passed the stones SCREAMING as I am sure you will too. I am sure you have been told to drink PLENTY of water. I do now...I don't want them again. I wish you luck Pal. I REALLY know what your feeling. You'll get through it. Oh yeah...it usually takes a week or two before you get full control of your flow stoppage after they take out the stent. Things need to shrink back to normal size and the valve gets to control flow again after being stretched open by the stent Edited December 10, 2009 by Adjam5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey I gave him straight forward answers. Kidney stones I have been told, by women who have had them, that they are the equivalent of labor pains that a woman gets during contractions of birth. The contractions you were getting was the kidney trying to push out the stone(s) and the stone(s) blocking the path. They also cut up the kidney/urethra a bit and that is where the blood in the urine comes from. The urine will not be red. It will be a brown color. That usually is the tell tale before you get them. Pay attention to the color of your urine. I do now. Hang in there...You'll get over it. The 1st few days are the worst. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
