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...
Si vous avez constaté que vous aviez un blocage dû à une pierre aux urgences, le médecin aurait dû effectuer une intervention chirurgicale immédiate. Mais êtes-vous ensuite allé chez votre médecin traitant ? Si ce n'est pas le cas, pourquoi ? Vous avez probablement besoin d'une autre radiographie pour savoir si la pierre est effectivement partie ou non. Qu'est-ce qui vous fait penser que vous l'avez passée et qui peut dire que le médecin n'a pas manqué d'en voir d'autres. Lorsque une pierre a poussé sur vos organes, vous avez si mal que vous n'avez pas faim, ce qui vous rend nauséeux. Et si vous êtes toujours nauséeux, je ne peux que vous suggérer de manger quelque chose ; Vous ne vous effondrez pas, vous êtes simplement misérable à cause de la douleur. Demandez à votre médecin quelque chose pour calmer vos nerfs. Désolé, je ne peux pas vous aider davantage.
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...
