Kidney Stones won't leave me alone!
Oof, ready to feel normal again!
So sorry to hear of this! How did u know you had kidney stones?? I know what it feels like to be in constant pain. I have a herniated disk in my back causing bad sciatica down my left leg too the point of being pretty much immobile. I am also on pain medication. Me and you had surgery only a day apart!
It's just so bizarre, because Thursday morning while I was at work I was perfectly fine. From the time I started to feel a little pain to when it was full out excruciating only an hour had gone by. It comes on quickly. I called my surgeon before my primary, and he instructed me to go straight to the ER (I was throwing up and had cold sweats at that point). Glad I didn't wait much longer, the ER doctor was able to give some much needed pain relief.
How is everything going with your surgery?

Yikes! That's horrible.. mine has been ongoiing paing getting worse by the days. I've had this horrid leg pain over a month and a half now. My surgery is ok. I have a lot of nausea but that could be from the pain meds... percocet can do this. My weight loss has been slowwww but then again i started at 297 day of surgery so i guess not that bad. I've had some complications from severe constipation landing me in the ER, to my back, and gastritis. It's been tough but i've been managing to get through it. How are you since your surgery? Cannot believe it has been 4 months already seems like we were just waiting to go into surgery yesterday at least for me lol.. now i am seeing surgery dates into August wow!
I feel for you. I am new to this site and was just told by my doctor that I might need my gastric reversed due to the amount of stones that I have had. I am going to see a few other doctors to get other opinions just for my minds sake. I hope you feel better soon. Those buggers are the WORST pain ever!!! Go see a nephrologist if you keep getting stones. Good luck and take care.
