I had a follow up appt & the Dr planned to take out the stent. Unfortunately the antibiotics he prescribed didn’t help and I developed an infection. I’m on stronger antibiotics and he says maybe the stent can be removed next week. I’m so disappointed and upset with myself.
Do you have high fever by any chance?
I suggest drinking more water
I didn’t have a fever.
I’ve been drinking lots of water. Almost a gallon a day.
I wish you a healthy recovery
Thank you!
I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I have had stones. The last one I had they put in a stent. I had never had a stent before and I could not stand it. I called the doctor and asked them to remove it way before the date they planned on doing it. I was so relived to get it out of there. I drink raw, unfiltered, organic apple cider vinegar with some water regularly. Drink water with real lemon juice. Never drink colas. I have been stone free for quite a while- hopefully forever. Once that stent is out you will feel better.
I feel your pain. I had the dreaded stent for 7 weeks. Absolutely barbaric. Couldnt sit,stand,lay down for constant pain despite voltarol dihydrocodeine and morphine. No way could i go to work. Stay strong..once it was out i felt instant relief.
Thank you. I drink lots of water normally. Before all this started I usually drank 1 or 2 cups of tea & once in a while iced tea. Since all this started I haven’t had any thing to drink but water with lemon & and I had 2 cups of herbal tea.
I removed the stent myself on Sunday after talking to the dr. It was easy & no pain. Unfortunately 2hours later I had to go to the ER because of kidney & ureteral spasms. I’m hoping the worst is behind me & I can get back to normal.
