Question 1

does vicodin help with kidney stone pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, vicodin will help alleviate the pain from a kidney stone.  Other treatment options may include motrin, advil, and ibuprofen.  Increasing your water intake will help pass the kidney stone while using the above medications if needed for pain control.

Question 2

can i take vicodin with pyridium and cipro (ciprofloxacin)? for kidney stone pain?

Accepted Answer

Kidney Stone: Please take only what your doctor prescribed for your condition. Pyridium (phenazopyridine) is normally prescribed for UTI-related pain, not kidney stones and it should only be taken for a couple of days and has other precautions. Do not take medications you have left over from tooth extraction or back pain for kidney stone. Discuss this with your doctor. Hydrate aggressively.

Question 3

can vicodin be used for kidney stone or gallbladder stone pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many pain medications can be used for kidney stone or gallstone pain, including vicodin.  Please see your doctor before taking any opioid.

Question 4

how much tramadol 50mg would help kidney stone pain and is safe to take?

Accepted Answer

Depends on patient: Standard dose of tramadol is 1-2 pills 4 times a day as needed. Don&#x27;t take it if it wasn&#x27;t prescribed to you. It shouldn&#x27;t be taken by those on most antidepressants. Some people are more sensitive to tramadol than others. Kidney stone pain usually responds better to high dose antiinflammatories like ibuprofen 800mg. Don&#x27;t self-diagnose. Lots of people think they have kidney pain when it&#x27;s not.

Question 5

what can b done to lessen kidney stone pain?

Accepted Answer

REMOVE stone, meds: Obviously when the kidney stone passes the pain will resolve.  If the kidney stone is too large (>4mm) it is unlikely to pass on its own and referral to a urologist is in order.  To help pass a kidney stone fluid hydration will help (er gives IV fluid bolus).  I have found drinking 1-2 gatorades (full strength) acts as an IV bolus.  Narcotic pain meds can help with the pain. Hope you are better!

Question 10

can period/no bm make kidney stone pain worse?
