Who here have dealt with kidney stones?
I just had ureutoscopy last Wednesday to remove a 5mm and 2mm in my right kidney and still recovering. Stent pulled on Friday but I was one of the "lucky" 1/3 patients that had extreme renal colic. Had to get emergency pain control, luckily office was open and I bypassed the ER.
Then there was extreme GI issues...I will spare you details but I never have been so backed up.
I think although I drink water I am not drinking enough. I sometimes finish races really dehydrated. Also my stones are calcium oxalate and I have been eating an obscene amount of nuts.
Also I had the same surgery in 2013, a 7mm. They left one stone in because it was not obstructing; maybe that is why 3.5 years later it grew.
