Kidney Stones Support Group
Kidney Stones are solid crystals of dissolved minerals in urine found inside the kidneys or ureters. They vary in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Kidney stones typically leave the body in the urine stream; if they grow relatively large before passing, obstruction of a ureter and distention with urine can cause severe pain most commonly...
I had a ct scan at the end of Jan because my kidneys hurt horribly and I was bloated every time I ate I would get a swollen abdomen and really nauseous the scan found a stone in each Kidney. I went to a Urologist he said they were just hanging out and are small enough that I may not feel them when they pass. Well here it is the end of Feb and I still feel horrible. The Left side doesnt hurt as bad any more but still hurts to the touch but the right side is just screaming at me. I cant eat or drink even water with out wanting to throw up. The doc said that some nausea is normal with the pain but this has been over a month now. He never commented on the swelling abdomen and he has referred me to a kidney specialist because of elevated ASO #'s (kidneys are bleeding and may have been for years) and I have the appt on the 6th and he has scheduled me for another ct scan to see if the stones are causing a blockage. I just dont know if this is normal or not. Any info?? Thanks

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
