Had some year, woke up around 2am last Nov in excruciating pain in my right side, thought this is me gone, ended up with a lovely 6mm kidney stone, agreed to a ureteroscopy, they tried and failed because my ureter was too narrow, inserted a stent and told me to come back in a month, peeing blood for 6 weeks was fun, eventually had it done and they got the stone, Finally i could get my life back, NOPE not quite

1 year on started having the pains again, convinced obviously i had another stone, NOPE

I'm waiting on an advanced CT with dye to see if i've got a stricture/narrowing of my Ureter (scar tissue) caused from my OP which is causing all my pain, a long shot but has anyone else had this nightmare on Elm street ? anything positive come out of it ?

anyone
