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...

Round Two of Ureteroscopy Tomorrow

RobertH

I wrote a journal entry on my experience thus far...  Tomorrow is round two of ureteroscopy.  Hopefully, this will be the last round.  Hopefully, they'll be able to get the stone out this time.  I'm ready for the pain and the discomfort to be behind me.  The kidney stone pain has been difficult to work with.  The stent has been uncomfortable and painful.  I'm just ready to be done with it.

That stent caused me to bleed to death, clotted and then I could not urinate...pain from hell!
3 weeks later they agreed and took it out. Yes same here as they did Lipotripsy the first time (laser) but I guess they missed the stone. So they did shock wave procedures later without the stent.
In the end if you want it all to go away...you must stop eating for 8 hoours,..buy chanca piedra and take . Buy and drink braggs organic apple cider vinger (its horrible) by itslef. followup with water. All on an empty stomach. Trust me!! It works! I fell no pain anymore. Stones disolve! Trust me!

I will be getting me some of that. I am at the end of my rope with these flippin things. Not one urologist can tell me why I keep getting the stones. The only thing they all agreed on was I have two different types of stones. I have been through hell and back over the last 3 years. I am slipping into depression because the stones have controlled my life and believe me I have done everything that I was told to do: stopped drinking pop, loss 32 pounds, changed my diet and exercise 5 times a week (working-out in constant pain).

Good luck. I fear the stent more than the stones.

I was the same way @michmartin - it was definitely uncomfortable, but not nearly as bad as I'd imagined it would be. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
