Kidney Stones

[singyswife]

Hi I have had kidney stones for the past 2 years. I am going tomorrow for my second course of shock wave treatment, has anyone else had this and what was it like for them. Also am overdue on my period and I just know it is going to wait till tomorrow to make me totally misrable. Anyone out there had kidney stones shattered.

anyone???

I have, a couple of weeks ago as a matter of fact. Anything you want to know?

sorry, you asked what was it like but you've had it done before? It was ok for me at 1st but when they up'd the machine it got more and more uncomfortable. I'm not sure I could have had it done for much longer than the 30/40 minutes I did have. Still not sure it's been entirely successful, will find out at my next scan. Good luck

Thanks got it done, it was incredibly painful, much worse than last time. Loads of after pain too. Had to get painkillers through a drip in my arm. Not feeling too good now. Not like that for everyone though.

I had kidney stones, must have been teeny weeny onesbecause by the time the appt at the hospital had come through I had gone through me.

It was the most painful experience of my life. Sooo much worse than labour IMO in fcat labour was walk in the park by comparison.

Yeah they really hurt dont they. Hopefully they have got mine this time. They dont know what has caused them but they are radiolucent (Only seen on scand not xrays). I had to be difficult didnt I. Think I may have passed them now though. Next step is a CT scan to see where they are lying exactly and what they are made up of and then an op to remove them. Hope nothing goes wrong for me. Scary thought.
