Been fighting this one since Sept 2025

- Strategy
- Patient journey
Sept 2025 I woke up with urine that looked like coca cola... through the day it turned red and lasted about 24 hours..
October 2025 I was scheduled for surgery to have laser lithotripsy, but the stone went back into the mid pole... urologist said no issues, wait and see.
April 1st... not a joke... came home from work with pain soo bad I was doubled over crying in the kitchen. Had mrs bring me to ER... popped a flomax before I left... get there and CT shows 5x4mm stone is in lower Distal ureter... cool I thought.
Been trying to find a new urologist because I also need a vasectomy, soonest appt is May 28th, so I start flomax and hope for the best.
Been having some testicle pain recently.
Today I had to pick my daughter uo from school. On the way home it felt like there was a bee in my scrotum... I went into the house. Pissed and this came out. Relieved is in understatement.
I normally drink 1.25-1.5 gallons of mostly water a day. I saw a Dr post to try and drink 3-500ml in one sitting to give it that extra push....

Wowww! Congrats on getting that nasty thing out. You must be so relieved. How do you feel now?
Thanks, things are a little sore, but man everything feels soo much better. I would not wish kidney stone pain on my worst enemy.
I actually think it would be a great way to incapacitate an enemy. I was literally on the floor a week ago.
