Patient journey

I’ve had 2 bouts of kidney stones since 2024. Last night the familiar pain started around 9 pm. I tried to sleep around midnight. Pain was really bad by 2 am. Started straining the urine Took oxybutynin and flomax from my last stone ordeal plus 2 Tylenol. 5 am still had horrid pain radiating from left hip down into groin. Felt like needles shooting into urethra. Finally fell asleep. Woke up at 8:30 am and oddly felt better. Got up to pee and plop into the strainer was about a 3 mm very sharp edged stone. My question is do I need to follow up with doc or if pain is completely gone am I good for now?

I’m not a doctor, but if it was me, I’d follow up.

I guess since it’s Saturday I could call the office and leave doc a message. Maybe she’ll want to see me next week.

I mean you passed it which is the most important thing. A doc is likely going to want to test it and if you haven’t already, give you a 24 hour urine analysis
