Question 1

i have 3mm kidney stone.it isn't obstructing anything.i have 0 pain. we tried to get it out with meds but it didn't work.is it safe to go on vacations?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: A small stomach that can be very problematic and will cause you pain if it gets caught in the ureter. Is also very likely that you can completely pass this stone make sure you stay very hydrated if you are going to a warm place for vacation it will be very important to drink a lot of water be close to medical attention if you have an acute pain from a stone in the ureter good luck.

Question 2

how long after my stent is removed can i go back to work? and is my kidney stone  going to be removed the same day?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you feel well enough, you could go back to work the same day the stent is removed. Depending on the nature of your work you could keep working with the stent in place. These items are best discussed with your doctor who has more information about your health and work.

Question 3

Question 5

can i return to work while waiting for a kidney stone to pass? no pain at this time, pushing fluids. 6mm stone was diangnosed 5 days ago.

Accepted Answer

Work and stone: You can go back to work if you have no pain and, if you have no pain, perhaps the stone did pass. You should strain your urine to see if you can recover the stone and send it to a lab for its analysis to see what it is composed of. However, if you did not pass it and your pain recurs, you will need to go to an ER for pain control. Good luck.

Question 6

will renavive work for any type of kidney stone? renavive contains ingredients that have been shown to be effective for all kidney stone types.

Accepted Answer

Weird concoction: This is a mix of twenty or so plant products including celery seeds and marshmallow roots. The claim that these will dissolve kidney stones looks obviously false and if it were true, they would have a scientific paper and perhaps the Nobel prize. No law forbids making obviously false therapeutic claims in most circumstances. I know no physician with kidney stones who uses this.

Question 7

i have a 10mm kidney stone. will shockwave lithoscopy work? will it break it up enough to pass w/o pain? what is smallest stone to pass w/o pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Lithotripsy will usually break it. Sometimes the urologist may elect to put a stent up the ureter until all the fragments are passed. Good luck.

Question 8

how can i get the pain from these kidney stones to leave? i'm a cna and it's so hard to work in so much pain and i have a high tolerance for pain. this is 8/10. i'm 19 this is my third this month no previous history of them.

Accepted Answer

Kidney stones: Recurrent kidney stones are usually a sign of an underlying metabolic disorder, such as hyperparathyroidism.  You need to see an internist for a thorough examination and blood work.

Question 9

i had a stent placed after getting a kidney stone removed yesterday. is it possible to go back to work before having it removed in 6 days from now?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You may have some discomfort from the stent but it should preclude you from going to work.

Question 10

do ureteroscopies work for a kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

Very well: Ureteroscopy is a very safe and reliable means of removing a stone. Either flexible or rigid ureteroscopy with or without laser lithotripsy should be effective 92% of the time.
