I have been dealing with this SOB for 3 weeks now. It was discovered when it initially blocked my UPJ and I thought my appendix had ruptured. 3 weeks later I’m dealing with another blockage, it’s in my lower ureter now but my kidney and ureter have “hydrophosis” or something like that.
Hydrocodone is not touching the pain. I’m currently on my way for my third hospital trip and I’m really hoping they will do something this time.
Is this normal or is my first bout a bad one?

Lots of fluids & meds, and it shifted. Finally came out last night, but they said 1-4 weeks, so it was faster than expected. I hope you get some relief soon.
