after having a kidney stone?
537634
Your kidney perhaps??  I have been suffering from chronic kidney stones since I was in High School, and have to say that I have never had those symptoms post-stone passing.  Those are things that I had DURING the whole agonizing process of flushing with IV fluids, etc.  Is it possible there is still another, or more stones in there still? \n\nAlso, did you have a lot of blood in your urine?  You might need to have your hemoglobin checked to make sure your iron isn't too low.  There is quite possibly the chance of a secondary infection as well. That could effect any of your organs, if it had the opportunity to spread.  My best advice here--go see the DR, or at least give him/her a call and let them know what's up.  GL!  P.S. PUSH fluids and drink cranberry juice in the meantime!

Hi!Drink a lot of water and that's #1.The more fluids/water you drink, the least likely you are to developer stones and flush out the ones you have.That is very important. Cut down on the amount of dairy you take in. Apply a hot compress over the kidney and /or painful areas, or better yet, take a bath with 8 drops of any of the following 100% pure aromatherapy oils:lavender,orange,fennel (or if you want a blend, use a combo of 4 each. Hope you feel better!

Joe, you may have a urinary tract infection, or you may be passing stones. I think there is a couple more things it could be as well. I would suggest you see a doctor very soon. In the mean time, try to drink more water. Cranberry juice is also supposed to be very good at flushing out your kidneys. Avoid drinks with caffeine or a lot of added sugar.\n\nThis is the best advice I know to give you at this time. I hope it helps.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

It could be a kidney stone you are trying to pass.  Contact your doctor.  Do not take chances with your health.  It will be cheaper to see a doctor than pay for an emergency room visit at a later date.

Sounds like a urinary tract infection, or a kidney stone. You should probably get it checked out. Just to be sure.

Stones will pass within hours or a few days. Most kidney stones can pass through the urinary system with plenty of water (2 to 3 quarts a day).  As far as pain medication it would be best to ask your doctor.

It hurts like hell!!  In my case it desolved before I got the pleasure and joy of actually peeing it out but that little stone ripping it's way through your kidney is one heckof a trip through pain.  Ask your doctor for some hefty pain killers before it starts too badly.

Patients who have kidney stones usually do not have symptoms until the stones pass into the ureter. Prior to this, some people may notice blood in their urine. Once the stone is in the ureter, however, most people will experience bouts of very severe pain. The pain is crampy and spasmodic, and is referred to as “colic”. The pain usually begins in the flank region, the area between the lower ribs and the hip bone. As the stone moves closer to the bladder, a patient will often feel the pain radiating along the inner thigh. In women, the pain may be felt in the vulva. In men, the pain may be felt in the testicles. Nausea, vomiting, extremely frequent and painful urination, and obvious blood in the urine are common. Fever and chills usually means that the ureter has become obstructed, allowing bacteria to become trapped in the kidney causing a kidney infection (pyelonephritis).\nAlternative treatments for kidney stones include the use of herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, acupressure, hypnosis, or guided imagery to relieve pain. Starfruit (Averrhoa carambola) is recommended to increase the amount of urine a patient passes and to relieve pain. Dietary changes can be made to reduce the risk of future stone formation and to facilitate the resorption of existing stones. Supplementation with magnesium, a smooth muscle relaxant, can help reduce pain and facilitate stone passing. Homeopathy and herbal medicine, both western and Chinese, recommend a number of remedies that may help prevent kidney stones.

I am a person with a high uric acid level and one who produces massive amounts of kidney stones please take heed--\n--red meat is a very high source of the problem, things with calcium if stones are covered with calcium---stay away from milk and products with calcium.  Stay away from acidic things such as soda pop.  Do not eat liver but stay oward fish due to fish oils, chicken, turkey, and the other white meat.    Take heed now because if you don't, the future is really not a pleasant one.  My one kidney is only 25% working and the other constantly fills up with stones and every two and a half months I have two stents (tubes) one placed in each kidney to prevent the pain from passing them.\nChange your diet now and ask the doctor for Sodium Bicarb pills or drink one teaspoon of baking soda daily to combat the uric acid level---it really helps and over time, Cranberry juice will dissolve stones and help the uric acid level also. Check with a urologist or nephrologist (kidney specialist before any more time elapses.  Good luck

I don't know why people have to be mean when they answer sometimes.  But I join with the other nice folks in saying, it is something you need to see a doc for.  If you have a urinary tract infection, need antibiotics.  Ditto if you have an STD.  Sometimes a kidney stone can cause a urinary tract infection, too.  But it only gets worse, ignoring it won't help.  We are really lucky nowadays that there is good treatment for this.  Feel better soon.

not good for either.  Best thing for kidney stones is plenty of clear fluids NOT CARBONATED.  Gallstones....ewww.  Once you get them, its hard to get rid of them....you don't "pass" them like you would a kidney stone, and the more greasy or oily foods you eat, the worse they are.  More than likely, you'll need to get your gall bladder out.

yes, the pain can radiate. The majority of the pain should be over the affected side, but its not uncommon for some to have pain on the opposite side.  If the pain is the same on both sides, you might want to be checked for additional kidney stones.

i know with kidney stones there is usually blood present in the urine but if it is so bad that you can't see through it you should definitely call your doctor right away!!!!  that doesn't sound good at all especially if there is that much blood so just to be on the safe side you should call!  good luck  i hope you feel better soon!

Yeah, it's really hard for me to remember how good things are unless I've had something bad going on.  My son has had kidney stones for several days now.  At one point yesterday he was celebrating not being in acute pain.  To answer the question, not often enough.  Thanks for the reminder.

Hi! Kidney stones are sometimes caused by too much calcium in the diet or by drinking too few fluids. You need to drink a lot of water. Apply a hot compress for 20 mins. at a time. It can be applied to your front and your backside. A hot bath can work wonders for the pain.If you can, drop some natural essentials oils (5 of one or each)into the water and some olive oil.You can use:lavender oil or the flowers themselves(will help with pain and is the easiest to find),fennel, orange or chamomile.
