So for months now I have started to get increasing pain in my left hand side back and some (not much tenderness) around belly.
I have an ultra-sound on Friday and really hoping the discover what is causing this.
Up again at 3am (only got off to sleep at 1am) to take more pain meds - then awake not much alter for work.
Miserable existence at moment - this sucks.
I feel for you.
I am having trouble with a kidney stone.
Have 2 appointments with 2 urologists.
Really just want it sorted as I'm sure you do.
Thinking of you, especially on Friday.
Take care and keep in touch

I meant to say/ask "Is it worse for others when the go to bed - in terms of the increase in pain" ?
I dread going to bed because the pain that almost immediately takes hold.
Yes mine is sometimes worse when I go to bed.
It's strange, if it is bad during the day and I go to bed it settles down.
But if I go to bed at night it is quite often worse.

Hope you get on OK today, let me know.
I saw a urologist yesterday and I have an enormous kidney stone.
No chance of either passing or blasting it so it will have to be surgery.
The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.

I am fairly sure you have a kidney stone, In the meantime, drink a lot of water with pure lemon juice in it. I changed my diet and make sure I drink a lot of water. Be aware of high oxalate foods if your stone is calcium-oxalate based. I have not had a recurrence for four years. I am sorry you have to go through this.
Thanks for advice. I saw a urologist a couple of days ago and have a huge kidney stone. No chance of either pass or blasting it, so it will have to be surgery.
