- I'm not a lover of heat, and I can't wait for winter to come. It may make my RSD worse but summer offers similar problems with thunder storms, etc.Lately, I've been having this weird symptom of a red face. I feel like my face is sunburned and...
- I haven't been around much in past months as I've been crazy busy with my son out of school for the summer, kidney stone problems, and work, but I'm undergoing some weird symptoms with my RSD.I've had it since 1997 in my left foot and leg. It hasn't...
- Those who followed my saga of kidney stone blocking ureter, a partially failed lithotripsy and ridiculous amount of waiting, there's a new chapter to the saga.I finally got info that my CT scan (which followed a KUB and ultrasound) shows that the...
- Today I had my Ultrasound to check on the right kidney and the 7.5mm stone that is blocking its ureter. I was not allowed to eat/drink for 6 hours before, and had to cancel Friday's appt b/c I ate a few spoons of ice cream. But this time I knew the...
- I'm just curious if anyone has heard of an ultrasound where you're not allowed to eat or drink 6 hours before? I have a stuck kidney stone and I had to miss the ultrasound b/c I wasn't supposed to eat/drink 6 hours before! I've had MANY ultrasounds...
- Hi- I'm new in this forum, a member of the Chronic Pain forum here. I'm 46, and have had kidney stones for over 20 years, but never had one that knocked me OUT until last year. Since then, I've had 2 more serious ones, and a litho done on my right...
- Remember me? I had the 7.5mm kidney stone stuck in my ureter on December 20? I waited until 2 weeks ago today to have a lithotripsy bc our area doesn't have a lithotripsy machine. Our hospitals share one so I waited 3 weeks for the procedure. Well...
- I was reading a post here and was a bit taken aback by something I read. While I don't believe the author of the post meant to attack or hurt anyone, I do wish to tackle what he said in a friendly way. You see, I want to talk about how many kinds of...
- So I'm about to go into surgery for my stuck 7.5mm kidney stone, and I meet the Urologist who will be doing my procedure. They'd just given me IV pain meds which, for 1st time in MANY years, actually went to my head, and the doctor wants to talk....
- For 18 days I have carried a 7.5mm kidney stone in my right ureter. Because of the holidays and the fact that our area only gets the lithotripsy machine once a month, I've had a rough few weeks. Even my CP doc yesterday was shocked they could let...
- If you haven't read my novel-length post about my 7.5mm kidney stone, I'll give you the short version. I was taken to ER in throes of worst pain ever. I had another kidney stone, this one 7.5mm- too large to pass. As always, I told ER staff about my...
- I had a horrific kidney stone attack last night, ended up in the ER. They did a CT and said it is 7.5mm and triangular shaped. It's too large to pass. They offered to keep me for pain control but my fear of needles and hospitals won over. They said...
- Hi all. I've been off awhile but I can't sleep and I have a question for you all. In case you're new or don't recall, I have had RSD of the left foot/leg since 1997. My PM died 4 years ago and I came here, scared to death. Someone here was kind and...
- I've been gone awhile. I had a lot of work and just got back from London, where the heat irritated every bone in my body on top of the RSD. Then our flight home didn't take off for 4.5 hours b/c it was the new 787 Dreamliner and it was again showing...
- Hi guys- sorry I've been out for awhile. I've had a terrible sinus infection that drained the life out of me. In fact, I'm wondering if anyone else here is battling fatigue with CP?I've had bad sinusitis all my life. My Mom & her Dad had it and even...
