I'm on 2 panadol Osteo Tramadol 100 mg every 4 hours and the Dr has given Mobic for inflamation still got pain so the pain is still going to be there thanks for the reply
Do you still have the terrible pain passing it
Just got back from surgery to remove two stones. Had surgery (laser) about 5 hours ago and a stint was placed in after the removal. Urinating is excruciating right now. But I'm hoping it gets easier the more I go. Stint is uncomfortable but manageable. I'm drinking lots of water in the hopes it will flush the blood and remaining stoe parts from my system. I was given 3 meds. An antibodic , pain killer , and one to ease the feeling of having to urinate from the stint. The worst part is the pain when urinating. Everything else is manageable. Hop all goes well
Sure u are not reading this but acidic stones have medicines that easily break them completely up
What kind of stones? Could it be related to her parathyroid?
It's the parathyroid that can cause calcium oxylate stones. I'd get it checked out along with blood calcium levels. My urologist is checking out my parathyroid if my stones turn out to be calcium.
To Dr.Ilirana Bisha Tagani MD. Hi, i just had 2 kidney stone removal surgeries, called Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, funny, i was @ the doctor's the other day, and he asked if my kidney was hurting, i said no because it wasn' t, much to my surprise, i got up this morning, and i do have soreness, in that kidney now, the left one that has damage, should i be concerned???? After 2 weeks???
Is it normal to have lower back pain or pressure after laser sugary ? Also I have chronic gastritis so when they put the tube down my throat it's effecting that . Any feedback on that ? Thanks
went in Saturday for what I thought would be IV antibiotics, the did a CAT scan and discovered a 6 mm stone that has been blocking infection from passing/clearing up...had I waited mere hours, i may have died from septicemia. They removed the large stone n put stent in, supposed to get stent out tomorrow. removing stent hurts like a mother cuz they don't knock you out...just yank that sucker out!
never understood that, it OBVIOUSLY hurts so they knock you out to put stent in...but not when removing it...nice

Australia also, agree, do anything to avoid the Public system at all costs.
As a pensioner I unfortunately had to go Public. I'm sure the doctor appointed was not experienced at all and a Urologist was only "consulted" and never assisted in the operation. I never got to see any urologist to ask questions directly either.
The 5mm stone was "luckily" close to the bladder end of the ureter and a fairly standard procedure for the position of the stone to use an Ureteroscope with a micro basket to remove. Don't know what went wrong (and still never told) but a stent was put in instead and stone still there. Now I have to have Ureteroscopy again with a Laser to break up the stone and the stent removed in "6 weeks or so" complete with the agonising and ongoing pain.
After the surgery I was in acute agony requiring immediate pain injections, the
first few urinations were also agonising and now 2 days later still in pain even with prescribed Endone twice a day and on the way to recovery.
Appears I was just a practise dummy for some intern which would be fine if there was at least a real urologist there to make sure everything was done right.
I was told there would be some "very minor discomfort as the scope is very small and barely noticeable" so why am I still in agony and passing blood, and why did a "fairly standard procedure" fail?
I will also have to pay for GP visits, medications and Specialist fees anyway so the savings going Public are not worth the risk of a botched operation having to be repeated.

They got it out first go?
They (not a proper Urologist) tried to get 5mm stone out after CAT scan confirmed it was in the right place for a "Ureteroscope and micro basket" removal, they failed and only put a stent in. I have to go back in six weeks, for a second go I'm assuming, with no idea of what went wrong or what is next yet either, only know post-op was bloody agony. Still passing blood now three days later, and worried sick knowing that I have to do it all over again and THEN have the follow up stent removed!
Read my previous post reply above on Australian Public hospitals, the whole system sucks.

Hi i know its an old post but can you update how your post op experience until now?
Because i had similiar experience with you, had my kidney stone removed by laser, then stent installed. But only a week later my doctor said its ok to remove the stent. Yet a month later i had massive back pain, and it was because my kidney is swollen. He said probably because we had removed the stent too early. Then they decided to install some kind of ring to hold my ureter as stent replacement. But weeks later (now) my urine is bloody again and dont know whats wrong! Maybe anybody familiar?

the surgery is ok and there alittle of pain after it done
For anyone who has not gone through KS removal, please be prepared. I have read the other responses and feel I must have been just unlucky. Since I went in the ER and then to surgery I didn't ask how many do they do or was this facility experienced in post op care.
I believe now that facilities experienced in post op care of KS removal is absolutely critical to your post op pain.
The doctor explained the simplicity of the procedure and away we went. I have had 2 cystoscopies so I thought no big deal. I woke up to the greatest pain I have ever felt times 10. And while the nursing staff was friendly I am not sure they knew everything to do to control this type of pain. You cant push out anything except large clumps of blood, You cant push out anything except large clumps of blood, After about two hours of excruciating pain they placed a catheter and it was an immediate relief. However the spasm continued and were incredibly painful and continued for many more hours, They don't stop but they get lighter and tolerable. I was in the Hospital 4 days and three nights.
They place a stent at the time of surgery as to not allow post op inflammation to block urine flow which would be even more painful. When you get home you will feel the urge to urinate. This is almost a relief after the time in the hospital, but there is a tolerable amount of pain when urinating. I get my stent out in a week and frankly I am concerned.
So I would say if possible make sure to use a facility that does a bunch of these procedures and is expert in post op pain management for this procedure. For anyone about to get this keep in mind this is one man's experience and hope no one else will have this experience,
all the best!

I just had a Cystoscopy. Laser. Among other stuff done last week. A stent was placed which was a currently uncomfortable. It was removed yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain to my back and right side. Subsided within a few hours. It's now almost 6pm the pain returned.,I took my meds. Perhaps the recuperation will take some time. I too have a few fragments instilled. I'm hoping and praying these stones never resurface and the ones left behind disappear. I soaked in the tub for a bit to help soothe the back and side pain. Is this to be expected. My daughter tells me to stop working and doing things and rest which is hard but maybe that's why I'm in pain. NonRestMomGere!!
