Kidney pain relief after lasering and stent pain

My husband also had hyperthyroidism. He had successful surgery in Florida. This year he discovered he had kidney stones. I thought they were from taking all the calcium after wards. The center said no that wasn't the case. He is having a procedure next week. I hope it all goes well.

I had been on opiod pain killers consistently for 2 years due to a rough heart surgery recoperation and had built up a tolerence. Had an 8mm stone stuck at the junction of the uereter and bladder with lots of fluid backup. It was lazered out and pigtail stint put in. Went to er that night in excruciating 10/10 screaming pain from bladder and uereter spasms arount the stint. Felt like a knife in me being twisted. They gave me, percoset, then morphine, then dilaudid. I felt nothing but a nauseosness along with the intense pain. Someone recomended torodol, 15 minutes later i could breath again, 30 minutes later i was sound asleep with very little pain. At home i took 600 mg ibuprofin every 6 hours for weeks. Those were the only things that really helped.

I more than feel your pain! I have had dull right flank pain off and on for a while so I knew it wouldn't be long than 5am at work (of course a weekend) I had to leave. Straight to ER. CT showed 8mm stone lodged in upper third of ureter. Lots of morphine and Toradol and zofran. Saw Dr on Tuesday because of course monday was a holiday. Planned to do lithotripsy and stent on friday. A KUB prior to surgery showed stone moved down and he actually couldn't see it. Had option of putting surgery off a few days and see or go ahead. I was like ya, you're going ahead. Ended up seeing stone near bottom of ureter. Did a little laser and basket extraction. He decided no stent. 2 days later back In office. Same pain. Told to watch. By wednesday i was back in ER and had Passed a large long skinny clot (looked like what may have been stuck in ureter causing hydronephrosis. Another CT scan showed small fragment in right ureter. Taken back to surgery. Stent placed this time. Stent is driving me crazy! Feels like I have to pee all the time. Also my urine in the ER last visit showed UTI with e coli. Not sure how that happened since original ER visit I was put on percocet and hadn't pooped in 5 days! I took 5 dulcolax tablets on tuesday, hoping cleared out before surgery. Nope. It took 2 1/2 days for them to work! Then I had diarrhea so so bad! (Felt better in the end). So just and FYI........if given strong pain meds, DON'T, for l the love of god, don't forget to begin using stool softeners or miralax. You'll thank me later!

In addition, I had had same issue with stones 18 years ago. This time though I was placed under anesthetic on day for stent for temporary relief. A day or 2 later when lithotripsy machine available at larger hospital, I was again sedated for that. Had so much debris that my stent was plugged like cement. So again a day later under anesthetic again for replacement of stent. 3 times under in 5 days. Lots of invasion to my body. So of course a day after last procedure I had temp of 105. Chills. Headache. Noise and light sensitivity. Ended up back in hospital and even had spinal tap to check for meningitis. Ended up with diagnosis of fever of unknown origin. I say it was my body saying enough!

Hi everyone. I am glad I am not the only one going through this. My case is a little different as I am 22 weeks pregnant. I have had a history of kidney stones and I've passed two but those experiences were nothing like this. I was in pain for a few hours, threw up a few times, blood in urine, and pain went away. I never saw the stones. Around 3am Wednesday morning I woke up in agonizing pain which I thought was gas pain. I took gas X and tried to push through the pain for over two hours until I couldn't take it any longer. My husband brought me to the hospital and they told me I had blood in my urine and I am probably passing a kidney stone. I can not have X rays done when I'm pregnant so they could only go off of an ultrasound. The ultrasound confirmed hydronephrosis. I was put on saline for 24 hours with morphine every two hours and Benadryl to sleep. They decided to put a stent in the following day. I thought this would relieve my pain but I am still in terrible pain three days later. When I urinate it feels like I am being stabbed in the kidney. It is even worse at night. I am taking Norco 10's every four hours, Flomax once a day, and Benadryl for sleep. I can't take ibuprofen because I'm pregnant. I know that would help substantially with the inflammation. The urologist said he had resistance with the stent. That's the only method they can go off of for placement because they can't actually see where the stone is. I am a waitress and I have not been back to work. I can barely walk down the stairs to get water or food without feeling pain. Does anyone know how long this lasts and is it normal to still have pain like this three days after the stent procedure? If the stone doesn't pass I'll have to have the stent removed and a new stent put in every two to three weeks because pregnancy and prenatal vitamins cause the stent to calcify quicker. My OB and urologist are especially concerned about me getting a kidney infection because that can send me into preterm labor. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dr gave me some narco ..acethomo.(something).That helped me in night for sleeping...Besides that AZO helped me tremendously for urine passing pain.

Hi Angela, where did you get the Voltarol Suppositories?

So, I had a lithotripsy done last Thursday, had a stent placed and had it removed today. It's been about 6 hours and I am in the most extreme pain I've ever been in. My entire abdomen! I want to pass out its gotten so bad. I took 2 hydrocodone and 2 Aleve and it's not helped at all! It's making me think something could be wrong? Idk if I should go to the er or wait it out till tomorrow... I guess alot of y'all have had this experience?
