Went to the hospital this morning found out I have a 3mm stone i looked at pictures and it doesn't seem that big but this pain is BAD I can feel it moving and it's so painful I can't move i feel like throwing up and from the pain causing nausea its making it hard to drink water what can I do to get through this?

Stone Fighter #B1DB2BSep 21, 2026Didn’t they prescribe you any meds for nausea? If not, I’d call you PC and ask for it. OTC meds usually don’t help me for nausea that comes from severe pain, like kidney stones. These meds are not very strong.

Stone Fighter #C16081Sep 21, 2026Did you ask the ER doc if you can take anything for nausea right now, or are they keeping you off meds until they know the stone's composition? Three millimeters can pass on its own, but that pain and you gotta be able to drink water to flush it out. Anti-nausea meds plus staying hydrated are your best shot at getting through this without another procedure.
