had kidney stone removed week ago. stent for 3 days. after removal extreme bladder spasms at night. should i be worried, can it be another stone?

Question

For the left urethra at the bladder with blockage from kidney stone or scare tissue from past ureteroscopies have a stent or resection as a choise ?

Answer 1

Don't worry (yet): It is very common to have spasms after placement and removal of a ureteral stent. If the pain does not resolve after 2 weeks consider seeing your urologist and maybe even getting another ct scan to look for additional stones.

Answer 2

Stents: It's not uncommon for ureteral spasms to occur for several days following removal of the ureteral stent. Is also remotely possible that an additional stone has dropped into the ureter is creating ureteral colic.

Answer 3

No worries yet: Bladder spasms are common after stent removal but so are additional stones. If the pain isn't improving please see your urologist.

Answer 4

Not necessarily: Family history - mother's and father's, and sibling's - can suggest a predilection for ear infections, but it is only a tendency, not definite. If there is a family history, monitor closely.

Answer 5

Not necessarily: Maybe. The odds are higher. But, it isn't for certain. The family may have an anatomy that makes ear infections at a young age more likely, but other factors such as smoke exposure or allergies may also have a huge impact.

Answer 6

No: It seems your older children had recurrent ear infections, i.e., more than three infections within a year. Genetics plays some role in making a child more susceptible to develop ear infection. Besides, attending day care program and second hand smoking increase the chance as well. On the other hand, breast feeding and getting timely shots of flu and pneumococcus (prevnar) work opposite.

Answer 7

Not necessary: It may not be the same for the youngest child.

Answer 8

Can be normal: Some pain and swelling can be normal at this stage. May take close to 1 full year for complete resolution with good therapy. Signs of metal allergy include persistent pain and swelling, skin rashes, including hives , and x-ray findings of component loosening. A sample of the metal, provided by the implant company, can be taped to your arm to confirm. Ask your surgeon.

Answer 9

Return to your Docto: If pain is not better after few seats of antibiotics, you either have the wrong antibiotics or something else is causing the pain, so you better return to be checked.

Answer 10

Probably unrelated: Abdominal pain and tongue numbness are likely unrelated. Many things can cause right sided abdominal pain, even after gallbladder removal. The most common things that cause tongue numbness is tongue swelling, most commonly due to allergies or poisonings.

Answer 11

See your Dr.: Her tongue getting numb probably has nothing to do with the pain which may be gas.

Answer 12

Neither: If it's a stone not much but medication and passing the stone will help. My condolences.

Answer 13

Kidney infection: Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) generally causes fever, chills and very significant flank pain. One generally feels "sick". Bladder infection (cystitis) rarely causes systemic symptoms. Discomfort in the pelvic area and irritative voiding symptoms are typical.
