I have been dealing with what felt like a pulled muscle by the left side of my ribs for maybe 3 weeks now. But this pass weekend I developed loss of appetite (I would still eat) and nausea so I decided to go to the ER. Turns out I got a 2mm kidney stone and some other issues unfortunately but yall what do I do I’m very scared 😭 I also hate vomiting and knowing that it’s a symptom has been eating me alive. I just want this to be over :(

Stone Fighter #28C522May 6, 2026It’ll hurt but drink lots of fluid, mostly clear would help with lemon juice. Once it starts passing it’ll hurt like hell but taking naproxen helps a lot as well as heating pads in the main pain spot
Stone Fighter #0430C8May 6, 2026They didn’t send me any pain meds at the ER should I ask for some?
Stone Fighter #56ED91May 6, 2026Get some tamsulosin from doctor to help you pass it. Lots of water all day long. They can give you zofran for vomiting but not everyone vomits ( I've never vomited from a stone or any other pain).
