Nausea after kidney stone passing?
Posted , 2 users are following.
After I went to the ER with standard 'impossible pain' the catscan showed a stone was lodged about 2 inches from my bladder. While I tested clear for infection, the main symptom before and during was a constant bladder irritation that felt like UTI but that the doc said was the blockage. Finally, a month and a lot of water later (5 days ago) the UTI and pain suddenly stopped and I'm pretty sure the kidney stone is gone. But now I'm nauseated and my digestive tract seems to have gone haywire. Most food makes me nauseous and I'm not digesting well -- particularly fat. I know that nausea is common with a kidney stone (anybody know why?) but is it the same afterward? Also, I noticed on the blood tests when I went in that a couple of liver indicators were high. I'm willing to be patient if I'll get better-- after all the damn thing was blocking for a month -- and I've read where people say their systems do not seem to work properly for a while after a stone passing, but would like any advice on what to do to heal faster if that's the case and some reassurance that the rest of me isn't suddenly falling apart...

If you found that you had a blockage from a stone in the ER that doctor whould have done immediate surgery. But did you then go to you family doctor? If not, why not? You probably need another xray to find out if the stone is actually gone or not. What makes you sure you passed it and who is to say the doctor may have missed seeing any more. When a stone has grown onto your organs you hurt so bad you are not hungry therefore making you naucious And if you are still naucious, I can only suggest you eat something ;You are not falling apart, you are just miserable from the pain Ask your doctor for something to calm your nerves. Sorry I can't help you any more than this.

Thanks for your reply Smalltowngirl. The pseudo-UTI came on at exactly the same time as the stone (it would not respond to antibiotics) and I was told that it was a symptom of the nerves being affected by the stone blocking the passage. Around here they don't do surgery right away -- they gave me tamulosin and said to take if for up to four weeks to dilate the ureter and help the stone pass. When the UTI suddenly passed one morning after a month, I couldn't be quite sure but I'm pretty sure the stone passed with it....I do have a 'non-obstructing stone' in the left side kidney and all medical people swear that can't cause pain or nausea -- but I am beginning to wonder now...
