Latest stone is a drama queen
- Strategy
- Patient journey
This one popped with cramps that felt like menstrual pain. 44f but I don't get periods anymore, so I was like wtf is this. I started feeling it in the groin area, got sick, dizzy, nausea, the whole shebang. Made it through work but stayed home two days without movement. Got a coworker to bring me on Thurs.
Fri. I went to a new urologist. Previous couldn't get me in until April 23, and I didn't really like the dr anyway. She did imaging but we don't have results. Last night I sneezed and the stone moved. It now feels like it's totally blocking the urethra. I feel much worse, stabbing pain, blood in the urine. Obviously not bad enough for the ER, otherwise I wouldn't be ranting. Why couldn't I have sneezed it out?? Ughhhhh.

There should be a federal law that we should get special days off for kidney stones because this is terrible!
I agree! I can't keep taking more time off work and i have a bad feeling this one is sticking around :(
Mine too, I am worried
