After I went to the ER with standard 'impossible pain' the catscan showed a stone was lodged about 2 inches from my bladder. While I tested clear for infection, the main symptom before and during was a constant bladder irritation that felt like UTI but that the doc said was the blockage. Finally, a month and a lot of water later (5 days ago) the UTI and pain suddenly stopped and I'm pretty sure the kidney stone is gone. But now I'm nauseated and my digestive tract seems to have gone haywire. Most food makes me nauseous and I'm not digesting well -- particularly fat. I know that nausea is common with a kidney stone (anybody know why?) but is it the same afterward? Also, I noticed on the blood tests when I went in that a couple of liver indicators were high. I'm willing to be patient if I'll get better-- after all the damn thing was blocking for a month -- and I've read where people say their systems do not seem to work properly for a while after a stone passing, but would like any advice on what to do to heal faster if that's the case and some reassurance that the rest of me isn't suddenly falling apart...
Wenn Sie im Notaufnahmebereich einen Steinblockaden hatten, hätte der Arzt sofort operiert. Aber sind Sie dann zu Ihrem Hausarzt gegangen? Wenn nicht, warum nicht? Wahrscheinlich benötigen Sie eine weitere Röntgenaufnahme, um festzustellen, ob der Stein tatsächlich verschwunden ist oder nicht. Was macht Sie sicher, dass Sie ihn ausgeschieden haben, und wer sagt, dass der Arzt nicht noch mehr übersehen haben könnte. Wenn ein Stein an Ihren Organen gewachsen ist, tut es so weh, dass Sie keinen Appetit haben, was Sie übel macht. Und wenn Sie immer noch übel sind, kann ich Ihnen nur raten, etwas zu essen. Sie fallen nicht auseinander, Sie sind nur wegen des Schmerzes elendig. Fragen Sie Ihren Arzt nach etwas, um Ihre Nerven zu beruhigen. Es tut mir leid, ich kann Ihnen nicht mehr helfen.
Thanks for your reply Smalltowngirl. The pseudo-UTI came on at exactly the same time as the stone (it would not respond to antibiotics) and I was told that it was a symptom of the nerves being affected by the stone blocking the passage. Around here they don't do surgery right away -- they gave me tamulosin and said to take if for up to four weeks to dilate the ureter and help the stone pass. When the UTI suddenly passed one morning after a month, I couldn't be quite sure but I'm pretty sure the stone passed with it....I do have a 'non-obstructing stone' in the left side kidney and all medical people swear that can't cause pain or nausea -- but I am beginning to wonder now...
