Question 2

Abdominal pain: Possible, also related reasons. See your physician. May need GI work up. Read more at www.Browardgi.Com.

Question 3

i get random brief pain under left breast/up rib and it comes/goes.10+minutes of this pain.i have kidney stone there and gas/gerd.are they related?

Accepted Answer

Possible but not: .....necessarily related:  Irritation of ribs' cartilage, joints or nerves. Intestinal gas trapped in the sharp bend in the colon.  Constipation. Spasm of the colon.  Inflammation of the pancreas.  Enlarged spleen. Stone or infection in the left kidney or upper part of the ureter. Ovarian problems with referred pain to the left diaphragm.  Inflammation of L. lower lung or left diaphragm.....

Question 4

was recently hospitalized w/kidney stone which is now in the distal left ureter (per ct scan).  would kidney stone produce excessive gas and bloating?

Accepted Answer

NO: But the narcotics taken for the renal colic is probably the culprit.  Try non narcotic NSAID's

Question 5

i keep experiencing gas, bloating, stomach pain and pain around my left kidney right after i eat. was previously diagnosed with kidney stones a yr ago?

Accepted Answer

Stone pain? Unlikely: Kidney stones would likely not be responsible for stomach pain and bloating.  Also the pain from a stone would not be related to eating.  Would talk to your doctor about these symptoms and consider a GI workup.  Good luck!

Question 6

went to er with flank pain. ct showed three small kidney stones also showed i was constipated. said that wasnt related to my flank pain. does kidney pain make you feel gassy? stomach churns and i pass gas here and there.

Accepted Answer

Separate problems: Kidney stones can cause flank pain, but not constipation or feeling gassy. The kidney stones and your intestinal symptoms are entirely different and need different treatments. Discuss with your doctor.

Question 7

what will kidney stones feel like?

Accepted Answer

If they: Are sitting in the kidney minding their own business they may produce no symptoms. If they block the flow of urine to the bladder they can produce considerable (sometimes excruciating) pain in the flank areas with frequent radiation to the area of the groin.

Question 8

i have pcos, a large hiatus hernia, keep getting utis & kidney stones. i feel like the doctors think i'm annoying them. i go at least once a fortnight?

Accepted Answer

My sympathies: Problems with kidney stones and utis should be both treatable and further stones and utis preventable. Hiatal hernia and pcos should both respond to medical therapy. Hopefully your primary care dr. Is part of a group so you can receive comprehensive care. However, your doctors should not feel annoyed if you have genuine problems requiring treatment.

Question 9

is it normal to get kidney stone like pain after a cystoscopey to clean out the urethra of debris?

Accepted Answer

Cystoscopy. : If a stone was broken up, you may be passing some fragments of the stone, and as such you may feel some symptoms. But if this occurs for more than 2-3 days after the cystoscopy, or if your pain is worsening, or if you’re having fevers, you should see the Urologist.

Question 10

i passed a 2mm kidney stone yesterday and now today seem to have frequent urination with what seems like very little flow. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: You should see your doc for a urine culture. You can rule out infection related to the stones.
